I don't think it's anyone's business what my name, address, phone number and political affiliation is.
I believe this keeps some folks from registering and voting especially in today's violate and targeting society.

Just a guess but it probably has to do with fair and open elections. If that information was not public then the elections office would be accused of fudging numbers or adding or deleting names. Having it open means you and I can look to see if our information is correct and anyone can look to see if the overall numbers appear to be correct.
