Unless otherwise provided in this subtitle, all records, briefs, documents, files, and materials of the Commission shall be deemed to be public documents and may be examined by any Election Commissioner or interested party. Notwithstanding, the Commission shall not provide any person with copies of the General Voter Registry or voter identification cards, ballots, tally sheets, or official checklists that shall be used in an election, except as provided further on sample ballots. Registration documents shall be deemed to be private, and copies thereof shall only be available to registered voters, the Election Commissioners, the Commission and its official entities, or any competent court in the discharge of its functions, when so required by this subtitle.

Election Commissioners shall be entitled to request a copy of the documents of the Commission, and these shall be issued free of charge within ten (10) days following the request.

Neither the Registry of Affiliated Voters nor the primary voting lists of political parties shall be deemed to be public documents. Only the Election Commissioner of the political party in question shall have access to such documents.
