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.

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.

necessary by the secretary of state for the proper administration of the pollbook.
