Voters who register on election day required to cast provisional ballots, and conforming changes made.
HF 1494 requires voters who register on election day to cast provisional ballots instead of regular ballots. This applies to anyone registering in person at their polling place on election day, who must provide proof of residence and complete a registration application with an oath. The bill amends several election statutes to implement this change, including updating provisions about election day registration procedures. It directly affects voters registering for the first time or updating their registration on election day, ensuring their ballots are processed as provisional until verified. The bill makes technical changes to election law to align with this new requirement.
