Section 2191 Of Article 5. Voter Registration Index From California Elections Code >> Division 2. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 5.

. The elections official shall compile an index, list, or file, by precinct, of all persons who voted in the previous statewide general election. This information shall be compiled in conjunction with the purge of voter registration files conducted pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 2220) of Chapter 3. Information compiled pursuant to this section shall include that information which is required to appear in the index as set forth in Section 2180. Any person, candidate, or committee who is entitled to obtain a copy of any information contained in this article shall, upon written request to the elections official, be entitled to obtain the index, list, or file compiled pursuant to this section. The elections official shall inform any recipient of this information as to whether the index, list, or file includes a voting history of vote by mail voters. The elections official may require the payment of a fee not to exceed the cost of duplicating the information or providing the tape as a condition to furnishing the information contained in this section. If the elections official uses data-processing equipment, he or she shall make the index available on a data-processing tape file on request. The elections official shall be required to retain this file until the next November general election in an even-numbered year has been conducted.
