§ 16.1-02-07 — Reporting changes of names - Changes to records in the central voter file

The state court administrator shall provide for the regular reporting to the secretary of state
the name, address, date of birth, and county of residence, if available, of each individual
eighteen years of age or older whose name was changed by divorce or any order or decree of
the court since the last report. Any individual who has obtained a civil protection order under
chapter 14-07.7 must be listed in the central voter file with a "secured active" designation. A
"secured active" designation means a record maintained as an active voter for pollbook
purposes, but otherwise is an exempt record. The state court administrator or the bureau of
criminal investigation shall make available upon request of the secretary of state the name of
each individual who has obtained such an order.
