AN ACT relating to elections.
SB 216 updates Kentucky's election registration forms to replace gendered language ("his or her") with gender-neutral terms in KRS 116.155. It directly affects all voters registering to vote in Kentucky by changing the wording on official registration forms. The bill amends the specific law governing required registration form content, ensuring forms use inclusive language without altering voter eligibility or other registration requirements. This is a procedural change to the form language, not a substantive policy shift in voting rights.
