JUST IN: Alabama Secretary of State officially withdraws from the Electronic Registration Information Center, or ERIC. alpolitics
“I made a promise to the people of Alabama that ending our state’s relationship with the ERIC organization would be my first official act as Secretary of State,” Allen said. “I came into the office after being sworn in yesterday and signed the letter to ERIC notifying them that Alabama is no longer a participant in any of their programs.
Allen, according to his release, expressed concerns about ERIC’s access to private data of Alabama citizens, which he says includes “driver’s license numbers, contact information and partial social security numbers of minors.” “Providing the private information of Alabama citizens, including underage minors, to an out of state organization is troubling to me and to people that I heard from as I traveled the state for the last 20 months,” said Allen. “That is no longer a concern because the data uploads of that information from Alabama to ERIC is over.”
