Bill > HB2503

This bill modifies Missouri's voter identification requirements by specifying the exact forms of personal photo identification that voters must present at polling places to establish their identity and voting eligibility. Acceptable forms of identification include a nonexpired Missouri driver's license, a nonexpired Missouri nondriver's license, certain documents with a photograph that meet specific criteria (such as matching the voter's registration signature and being issued by the U.S. or Missouri), and identification issued by the Missouri National Guard, U.S. Armed Forces, or Department of Veterans Affairs. If a voter does not have an acceptable form of identification, they may cast a provisional ballot after completing an affidavit. To have their provisional ballot counted, voters must either return to the polling place with proper identification or have their identity verified by election authorities through signature comparison. The bill also requires the state to provide free nondriver's licenses and necessary supporting documents (like birth certificates or marriage licenses) to voters who need them for identification purposes. Additionally, the secretary of state must annually report on the number of nondriver's licenses issued for voting and provide public notice of the identification requirements on the state website.
