Secretary of State John Merrill said Alabama is examining a request to turn over names, birthdays and voting history to a federal election commission investigating possible fraud in the 2016 presidential election.

Merrill confirmed Friday his office received the commission's letter, which requests all "publicly-available voter roll data including...the full first and last names of all registrants, middle names or initials if available, addresses, dates of birth, political party (if recorded in your state), last four digits of social security number if available, (and) voter history from 2006 onward."

The information, according to the letter sent to all 50 Secretaries of State, will be made available to the public. States were given a deadline of July 14 to comply.

Merrill said Alabama is examining the request, but said he is not sure what information - if any - Alabama will provide and has more questions about the process.

"We want to be helpful. We want to encourage (the commission). We think they are trying to be helpful to the country but we're not sure we're going to provide everything they have asked for. We are not doing it on June 30 and we're not sure if it will be provided by July 14," Merrill said.

"We want to make sure our voter information is protected," Merrill told AL.com. "We want to be helpful but have to make sure information on our constituents is secure."

The letter came from Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, vice chair of the bipartisan Presidential Commission on Election Integrity. The commission, chaired by Vice President Mike Pence, was established via an executive order by President Trump in May. The commission is charged with "reviewing policies and practices that enhance or undermine the American people's confidence in the integrity of federal elections."

The commission will produce a report that will be provided to the president sometime next year.

Kobach's letter also asks Secretaries of States to provide information related to voting laws in their states and for convictions related to election-related crimes since 2000.

Earlier, Merrill said there was no evidence Alabama's election system was compromised, even as reports surfaced that foreign interference during last year's presidential election may have been more widespread than first believed.

Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Birmingham, said the request should concern every American.

"President Trump's election commission is a sham, led by a Secretary of State whose only qualification is that he disenfranchised more voters over the past decade than any other state lawmaker," said Sewell, Vice Chair of the Commission on Protecting American Democracy from the Trump Administration.

"The commission's request for personal voter data should be alarming for any American who values their privacy, security, or the integrity of our elections. Handing over information on our voters to an Administration that has no respect for the facts will only lay a foundation for national voter suppression efforts," she added.

Not all officials are agreeing to turn over the information. State officials in Virginia, California and Kentucky said they will refuse the request, according to a report in The Hill.
