Bill Summary
VIVA/Election Reform
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Voter Information Verification Act, introduces several changes to election laws, primarily focusing on voter identification and election administration. A key provision requires voters to present photo identification when voting in person, with exceptions for those with religious objections to being photographed or victims of recent natural disasters. The bill also clarifies acceptable forms of photo identification, including driver's licenses, state IDs, passports, military IDs, and tribal IDs, and outlines a process for challenging photo identification if it doesn't appear to reasonably resemble the voter. Additionally, it modifies rules for absentee voting, including witness requirements and ballot delivery, standardizes special election dates, and makes changes to voter registration processes, such as eliminating same-day registration and preregistration. The bill also addresses campaign finance reporting, lobbyist regulations, and various other election-related procedures.
