MI SB0803

Requires registered electors to present official picture identification (state ID, driver's license, or other recognized photo ID) and execute an application containing name, address, date of birth, citizenship affirmation, and signature before receiving a ballot.

Mandates electors affirmatively state they are United States citizens on the voting application; electors who fail to make this statement must be challenged and will not receive a ballot unless they swear under oath to citizenship.

Requires absent voter ballot applicants to answer "Yes" or "No" to a citizenship question on the application form, with a warning that non-citizens will not receive a ballot and failure to answer requires written response to the clerk before polls close.

Allows courts in contested elections to count absent voter ballots that were not counted due to missing citizenship answers if the court determines the voter was a citizen at the time of the election.

Takes effect August 15, 2012.
