AI Summary
This bill requires voters who choose to sign an affirmation statement instead of presenting a valid form of identification when voting in person, either absentee or on Election Day, to also provide their full name, year of birth, and the last four digits of their Social Security number, if they have one. The form containing this affirmation and additional personal information will be kept as part of the official election records. This change aims to enhance voter verification processes by collecting more data from individuals opting out of traditional identification.
