SB 118

Abstract

Voter identification; identification containinga photograph required. Requires presentation of a form of identification containing a photograph in order to vote. The bill repeals the provisionsof law permitting a voter who does not have one of the required formsof identification to vote after signing a statement, subject tofelony penalties for false statements, that he is the named registeredvoter he claims to be. Instead, the bill provides that such voteris entitled to cast a provisional ballot. The bill requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to provide voter photo identificationcards containing the voter's photograph and signature free of chargeto those voters who do not have another valid form of identification.
