• Establishes a State Election Board consisting of the secretary of state, attorney general, and lieutenant governor to assess citizenship documentation from applicants and hear appeals from those denied registration.

• Requires absentee ballot applicants to provide a driver's license number or nondriver license number and their signature must match the voter registration file before the ballot can be mailed.
