AI Summary
This bill requires voters requesting an absentee ballot to submit a color copy of a government-issued photo identification along with their application, and mandates that these applications be notarized. If an application has errors, the voter must personally visit their city or town clerk to correct them and prove their domicile, which is their legal residence.
