Bill Summary

An Act To Amend Titles 15 And 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Photographic Identification In Delaware Elections And Obtaining Nondriver Identification Cards.

AI Summary

This bill amends Delaware election and identification laws to require voters to present specific photographic identification before voting, including a driver's license, nondriver identification card from the Division of Motor Vehicles, U.S. passport, or military identification card. The bill eliminates the previous option for voters without identification to sign an affidavit affirming their identity. Additionally, the legislation changes the fee structure for nondriver identification cards, making the first card free of charge and subsequent renewal cards available for a reduced fee of $20, compared to the previous $40 fee. This change aims to make obtaining identification more accessible to Delaware residents. The bill represents an effort to enhance election integrity by mandating stricter identification requirements at polling places while simultaneously reducing financial barriers to obtaining official identification cards.
