Introduced by: R. Lee Ware | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Elections; voter identification containing a photograph required. Requires presentation of a form of identification containing a photograph in order to vote. The bill repeals the provisions of law permitting a voter who does not have one of the required forms of identification to vote after signing a statement, subject to felony penalties for false statements, that he is the named registered voter he claims to be. Instead, the bill provides that such voter is entitled to cast a provisional ballot.
