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. This additional information will be collected on the same form as the affirmation statement and will be kept as part of election records. This change aims to enhance voter verification procedures.
