Bill Summary
Voter identification; proof of citizenship
AI Summary
This bill amends several sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes related to voter registration and identification requirements. The key provisions are:
1. It requires applicants for voter registration to provide satisfactory evidence of U.S. citizenship, such as a driver's license, birth certificate, or naturalization documents. Registered voters as of the effective date of the bill are deemed to have provided satisfactory evidence of citizenship.
2. It specifies the required forms of identification that voters must present at the polls, including a photo ID or two non-photo IDs with the voter's name and address. Voters who do not present the required identification can only vote a provisional or conditional provisional ballot.
3. It requires that the amendments to the voter registration and identification laws in this bill be approved by a three-fourths vote of each house of the state legislature, as mandated by the Arizona Constitution.
