HB 200 Summary

• Adds new section 4949 to Delaware Code Chapter 49 requiring electors to present current and valid picture identification when entering polling places.

• Acceptable forms of identification include Delaware driver's license, Delaware identification card, U.S. passport, U.S. military identification, or other government-issued identification.

• If the picture identification lacks a signature, voters must provide additional identification that includes their signature.

• Voters unable to provide required identification may cast a provisional ballot, with validity determined by the Board of Canvass.

• Bill is modeled after Florida's voter identification law and is a companion to a proposed constitutional amendment regarding voter identification requirements.
