AI Summary

  • Amends the voter registration process to require valid government-issued photo identification (driver's license, state ID card, or passport) when a voter's signature on the certificate does not match the signature on their registration card.

  • Establishes that signatures in different formats (cursive versus printed writing) shall be considered non-matching for identification purposes.

  • Removes the previous requirement for election judges to ask identification questions from the registration card if signatures do not match; instead, photo ID verification becomes the primary method.

  • Retains existing protections allowing voters to refuse to provide their social security number without penalty or ballot challenge.

  • Maintains provisions for voters whose registration cards cannot be located but whose names appear on the printed precinct register to vote upon providing affidavits.
