AN ACT CONCERNING PROOF OF IDENTITY, CITIZENSHIP AND RESIDENCY FOR PURPOSES OF VOTING.
HB 6028 requires voters in Connecticut to present specific documentation before registering to vote and before casting a ballot. It mandates proof of U.S. citizenship and Connecticut residency during voter registration (including same-day registration), and a current photo ID displaying the voter's name and residential address when voting. The bill directly affects all Connecticut voters participating in elections, requiring them to provide these documents at two distinct points in the voting process. It replaces existing voter identification procedures with these specific requirements for both registration and ballot casting. The law aims to verify voter eligibility through these documented checks before allowing registration or voting.
