Can people see who I voted for?

According to the nonpartisan National Conference of State Legislatures, voters’ names, addresses, party affiliations and voting history are public information. This information can be viewed by candidates, political parties and the public.

While your participation in elections is public information, who you voted for is not public information. Whether you voted is public knowledge. The candidate you voted for is private information.
