SB 120 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Elections: voting procedures; process for voting without identification for election purposes; modify to include proof of identity and proof of state residency. Amends secs. 523, 523a, 813 & 829 of 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.523 et seq.).

SB 120 modifies Michigan's election law to require voters without standard identification to provide two specific documents: one proving their identity (like a driver's license or birth certificate) and one proving Michigan residency (like a utility bill or lease agreement). This applies directly to voters who cannot present standard ID at polling places. The bill changes the process by mandating these two documents instead of allowing a simple affidavit, with failure to provide both resulting in a provisional ballot. It updates existing sections (523, 523a, 813, 829) to define acceptable proof types and the verification process for such voters.
