AN ACT REQUIRING PHOTO IDENTIFICATION FOR VOTING PURPOSES.

This bill requires voters to present a valid photo ID displaying their name and address when voting in person and to include a photocopy of such ID with absentee ballot return envelopes. Public libraries must provide free photocopies of voters' photo IDs for absentee ballots, with costs reimbursed by the state. The bill also waives fees for obtaining a photo ID from the Motor Vehicle Commissioner for individuals unable to pay. It directly affects all voters in person or by mail in the state, aiming to verify voter identity while providing free access to required identification.
