AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to Ohio's election laws. It requires voters to provide photo identification or a U.S. passport that is not expired when voting in person or requesting an absent voter's ballot. Voters who have a religious objection to being photographed can instead sign an affirmation and cast a provisional ballot. The bill sets new requirements for absentee voting, including restricting who can return absentee ballots on behalf of a voter and prohibiting the mailing of unsolicited absentee ballot applications. It also adds new security measures for voting equipment, including requiring voting machines to utilize blockchain technology and banning any connection to the internet. The bill repeals and reenacts various sections of Ohio's election law to implement these changes.
