Adds additional options for photo identification needed to vote
HB 1320 requires voters in Missouri to present specific photo identification at polling places or when voting absentee in person. It directly affects voters without one of the listed ID types (such as a Missouri driver's license, student ID from a Missouri school, or military ID) by requiring them to cast a provisional ballot and return to the polling place with acceptable ID or have their signature verified. Key provisions include expanding acceptable ID options, creating a process for provisional ballots with strict verification steps, and mandating that Missouri provide free copies of essential documents (like birth certificates or Social Security cards) to help voters obtain required ID. The bill also requires the state to post ID requirements online and covers free nondriver's licenses for qualifying voters.
