Voter verification requirement before mail delivery of an absentee ballot
This bill requires voters to verify their identity when applying for absentee ballots in Minnesota. It mandates that applicants provide either a Minnesota driver's license number, state ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number during the application process. The Secretary of State must then verify this information against government databases before mail delivery of the ballot. This applies directly to voters submitting absentee ballot applications electronically or by mail, ensuring only verified applicants receive absentee ballots by mail.
