What’s in it

This bill relates to voter identification requirements for absent voters. The bill requires an absent voter who returns a completed absentee ballot to the commissioner’s office, by mail, or to a ballot drop box to include with the completed ballot a photocopy of a voter identification document that would satisfy the voter identification requirements for a voter voting in person on election day. The bill also requires the members of the absentee ballot and special voters precinct board to verify the validity of the identification in the same manner as a precinct election official verifying the identity of a voter voting in person prior to counting a ballot.
