Bill Summary
Creates a new provision relating to voter registration
AI Summary
This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment for Missouri that would modify voter registration requirements by mandating that individuals seeking to register to vote must present a personal photo identification when applying to register. The proposed amendment, which would replace an existing section of the state constitution, allows the general assembly (state legislature) to establish, through general law, the specific types of photo identification that would be acceptable during voter registration. The amendment would be submitted to Missouri voters for adoption or rejection at the next general election in November 2026 or at a special election called by the governor. By requiring photo identification at the point of voter registration, the resolution aims to potentially enhance voter verification processes, though the specific details of acceptable identification would be determined by subsequent legislative action.
