Why would the government know your voting history? Isn’t voting anonymous where you live?
No idea what a tax id is but in Sweden everyone’s home address, income, phone number, “personnummer” (a unique ID assigned to every citizen), and some other stuff. And for the most part it works pretty well. I’m usually concerned about privacy but I don’t mind this because it applies to everyone equally (except a few people with protected identity for safety reasons) and it’s just so open and convenient.
I’m not saying that all government documents should be public information but here most documents are.
