Bill > HR4650

This bill, the American Confidence in Elections: District of Columbia Provisional Ballot Reform Act, aims to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to establish certain requirements for casting a provisional ballot in a District of Columbia election. The key provisions of this bill are: 1. It allows individuals who are registered voters in the District of Columbia and eligible to vote in a D.C. election to cast a provisional ballot if their name does not appear on the official list of eligible voters or if they do not provide valid identification, with the caveat that the provisional ballot will only be counted if the individual provides the identification by the second day after the election. 2. It allows individuals who are registered voters in the District of Columbia and eligible to vote in a D.C. election to cast a provisional ballot at a polling place other than the one where their name appears on the official list of eligible voters, but their ballot will only be counted if they demonstrate that they are registered in the jurisdiction of the polling place where they cast the ballot. 3. It defines "District of Columbia election" to include any election for public office in the District of Columbia, including federal elections, and any ballot initiative or referendum. The bill also includes conforming amendments to the enforcement and table of contents provisions of the Help America Vote Act of 2002.
