Former names are important to know if someone is attempting to cover up a criminal conviction, etc.

Though probably less important in the current day where communication is so easy and ubiquitous. But yes, I think you're right.

Edit: Given the topic we're discussing, I should be crystal clear. Deadnames are none of the general public's business, on the ballot or off.
