I guess the US is the same for the records you mention, but they are fairly local - state/county/town/voting district.

The overall country wide data at the US Census apparently has a 72 year policy - my highlight -

In keeping with the Census Bureau's commitment to confidentiality, the Census Bureau information collected in the Decennial Census of Population and Housing on individuals does not become available to the public until after 72 years.
