Bill > HB0311

This bill amends election law by modifying the definitions of "Valid voter identification" and the procedures for handling voted ballots returned by mail or deposited in a ballot drop box. Specifically, it adjusts the types of identification accepted for voters who do not have a driver's license or social security number, and it introduces new provisions for signature verification on return envelopes, allowing for alternative verification methods for voters with disabilities and requiring poll workers to compare signatures if they have reason to doubt their authenticity. The bill also clarifies the process for notifying voters whose ballots are rejected and outlines the requirements for counting such ballots if they are later resolved, with an effective date of May 6, 2026.
