The county auditor shall generate a pollbook for each precinct in the county from the central
voter file by the day before an election. With the exception of a record designated "secured
active" and the voter's birth date and driver's license or nondriver identification card number
issued by the department of transportation, which are exempt records, the precinct pollbooks
are open records under section 44-04-18. When providing access to or a copy of a pollbook, the
election official administering the election shall redact from the pollbook any voter records
designated as secured active along with the voter's date of birth and identification numbers
listed on the paper pollbook used in an election. If an electronic pollbook is used, the election
official, upon request for a copy of the pollbook, shall generate a list including the allowable
information detailed in this section for the individuals who voted in the election. The list provided
from an electronic pollbook may be requested by precinct or county. The secretary of state shall
prescribe procedures for generating pollbooks and for transporting the pollbooks to the poll
clerks for use on election day. Electronic pollbooks may have a secure connection from the
polling place to the data maintained in the central voter file to ensure the integrity of the election.
Each pollbook generated from the central voter file must contain the following information for
each individual contained in the pollbook:
1. The complete legal name of the individual.
2. The complete residential address of the individual.
3. The complete mailing address of the individual, if different from the individual's
residential address.
4. The unique identifier generated and assigned to the individual.
5. The county, legislative district, city or township, school district, county commissioner
district, if applicable, precinct name, and precinct number in which the individual
resides. A ballot-style code identifying this information may be used in place of the
information required by this subsection.
6. Any other information requested of and obtained from the individual deemed
necessary by the secretary of state for the proper administration of the pollbook.
