Bill > HB06021

This bill proposes to modify existing voting laws by requiring all voters (referred to as "electors") to present a current and valid photo identification that displays their name and residential address before being allowed to cast a ballot at polling places. The bill also establishes a program to ensure that voters can obtain the necessary photo identification, such as a motor vehicle operator's license or government-issued identity card, at no cost. By implementing this requirement, the legislation aims to verify voter identity at the time of voting, potentially as a measure to enhance election integrity. The key provision is that voters must show a valid photo ID with their current address before receiving a ballot, with a complementary initiative to remove financial barriers to obtaining such identification by making the required documents free of charge for voting purposes.
