Bill > SB2949

This bill, titled "ELECTIONS VOTER PHOTO ID," amends the Election Code to require Voter Identification Cards for those who do not have an acceptable form of government-issued photo identification. The bill sets forth requirements and exemptions for the Voter Identification Cards, which must include the voter's name, signature, photograph, the State seal, and the voter's current residence address. The bill also defines acceptable forms of photo identification for voting purposes, including Illinois driver's licenses, state identification cards, disabled person identification cards, and other government-issued IDs. Additionally, the bill requires voters to present a government-issued photo ID or their Voter Identification Card when voting, and it makes changes to the provisional voting process to accommodate the new identification requirements.
