This is the main reason I'm not currently registered to vote. The f-ers at the voting offices leaked my address without my permission, and then I de-registered and moved.

I don't currently have anything worthy of a death threat but if I ever do in the future, I'd prefer the public not know where I sleep.

Also, f all forms of KYC. Half of those companies end up getting hacked or leaking data at some point in the future.

Voter registration information, including voter address, is public information. Nobody leaked it. They gave your address to someone who asked, in accordance with the law.

People keep parroting this but it shouldn't be public information. Personal safety is more important than the law, as is established in the universal unalienable rights. Where I sleep is emphatically NOT public information. Period.

Until the law is changed to ensure my physical safety I see no reason to re-register.

Shouldn't and is required to by law are two different things. So yeah, maybe it shouldn't be public information, but the fact that it is, and is legally required to be, means that your information wasn't "leaked".

No, it was leaked, against my consent.

The government doing something against my personal safety and consent in the name of the law doesn't make it not a leak.
