AI Summary

  • Allows eligible voters to complete conditional voter registration and cast an affidavit ballot on the same day at early voting and election day polling locations, bypassing standard registration deadlines.

  • Conditional registrations become effective if the board of elections verifies the registrant's eligibility and matches their information against databases maintained by the Department of Motor Vehicles or Social Security Administration.

  • If information cannot be verified through motor vehicles or Social Security databases but the board determines the registrant is otherwise eligible, the registrant receives a voter identification number and the conditional registration becomes effective.

  • Requires boards of elections to offer conditional voter registration at all early voting and election day polling locations while maintaining ballot secrecy and processing registrations before counting or rejecting ballots.

  • Takes effect 90 days after becoming law.
