Bill Summary

To create section 1m of article III of the constitution; Relating to: requiring photographic identification to vote in any election (second consideration).

AI Summary

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment requiring voters to present valid photographic identification in order to cast a ballot in any election. Under the proposed amendment, qualified electors must show a photo ID issued by the state, federal government, a federally recognized American Indian tribe or band in the state, or a college or university in the state. The legislature would have the power to establish acceptable forms of identification and potential exceptions to this requirement. If a voter cannot present a valid photo ID on election day, they would be allowed to cast a provisional ballot, but that ballot would only be counted if the voter subsequently provides valid photographic identification at a later time and place as specified by law. The proposed amendment would be submitted to voters for ratification at the election on the first Tuesday of April 2025, with the ballot question asking whether section 1m of article III of the constitution should be created to require photo identification for voting, subject to potential legislative exceptions.
