Bill Summary
This bill requires the presentation of a government-issued photographic means of identification to vote.
AI Summary
This bill requires voters to present a government-issued photographic identification to receive a ballot, with specific types of identification being acceptable, including a New Hampshire driver's license or identification card, a U.S. armed services ID, or a U.S. passport. For voters who have been on the checklist for less than 63 days, an out-of-state driver's license or nondriver's identification card is acceptable, provided the state of issuance matches where the voter last registered. The bill also removes provisions that previously allowed for out-of-state licenses to be recorded separately and for student identification cards to be used under certain conditions, and it mandates that the Secretary of State provide training and informational materials on obtaining identification for voting purposes.
