Approximate address, surely. Addresses are ... usually not very secret in the first place, though? It'd be absolutely fascinating if your government not only tracked everyone's location but assigned their voting center by current location, but, well,

So when I say location here I mean the neighborhood where you live. Also the main concern isn’t the government. They clearly already have the data and will always have that data. They also have the actual address of people. The main concern is literally anyone can access the data and this thread is about countries protecting PII lol.
