Bill > SB668

This bill modifies provisions relating to elections in Missouri. Key changes include: 1) Prohibiting election authorities from accepting funding, grants, or gifts from sources other than the governing body of a political subdivision, the state of Missouri, or the federal government. 2) Repealing the requirement for election authorities to obtain written consent before appointing election judges who are registered voters in another jurisdiction. 3) Expanding the types of identification that can be used to establish a voter's identity at the polling place or when voting absentee in person, including certain documents issued by the U.S. or Missouri government. 4) Establishing a provisional ballot process for voters who do not have an approved form of identification, requiring them to either return to the polling place the same day with an approved ID or have their signature verified by the election authority in order for their ballot to be counted. 5) Requiring the state to provide a free non-driver's license ID for any otherwise qualified voter who needs one for voting purposes, and to cover the fees for obtaining supporting documents like birth certificates.
