AN ACT REQUIRING PRESENTATION OF PHOTO IDENTIFICATION TO VOTE.
HB 5157 requires voters to present a current, valid photo identification displaying their name and residential address before casting a ballot at polling places. This bill directly affects all voters in the state who participate in elections. The key provision mandates that election officials verify this photo ID during the voter check-in process, replacing the current method of voter registration confirmation. The bill does not alter voter eligibility but adds a specific identification requirement for voting.
