2166
. (a) Any person filing with the county elections official a
new affidavit of registration or reregistration may have the
information relating to his or her residence address, telephone
number, and e-mail address appearing on the affidavit, or any list or
roster or index prepared therefrom, declared confidential upon order
of a superior court issued upon a showing of good cause that a
life-threatening circumstance exists to the voter or a member of the
voter's household, and naming the county elections official as a
party.
(b) Any person granted confidentiality under subdivision (a) shall:
(1) Be considered a vote by mail voter for all subsequent elections or until the county elections official is notified otherwise by the court or in writing by the voter. A voter requesting termination of vote by mail status thereby consents to placement of his or her residence address, telephone number, and e-mail address in the roster of voters.
(2) In addition to the required residence address, provide a valid mailing address to be used in place of the residence address for election, scholarly, or political research, and government purposes. The elections official, in producing any list, roster, or index may, at his or her choice, use the valid mailing address or the word "confidential" or some similar designation in place of the residence address.
(c) No action in negligence may be maintained against any government entity or officer or employee thereof as a result of the disclosure of the information which is the subject of this section unless by a showing of gross negligence or willfulness.
