Bill > SF3571

This bill establishes a voter identification card, requires voters to present proof of identity and residence when voting, creates a provisional ballot system, and makes other changes to election administration and reporting requirements. Specifically, the bill: - Requires a voter to present a valid photo ID, such as a driver's license, state ID, tribal ID, or new voter ID card, to vote. Voters without an accepted ID can cast a provisional ballot. - Creates a free voter identification card that can be obtained by eligible voters who do not have another acceptable form of ID. - Establishes a provisional ballot process for voters who cannot provide the required proof of identity and residence on election day. Provisional ballots must be verified within 7 days after the election for them to be counted. - Changes deadlines for county and state canvassing of election results. - Appropriates funding for implementing the new voter ID requirements, including reimbursing voters for costs of obtaining required documents. - Requires a public education campaign on the new voter ID requirements. The bill aims to enhance election integrity by implementing a voter ID requirement, while also ensuring access through the new voter ID card and provisional ballot process.
