Modifies provisions relating to elections
HB 395 revises Missouri's election laws to update voter eligibility and registration requirements. It allows citizens aged 17.5 years or older to register to vote for elections after their 18th birthday, removes voting restrictions for people convicted of misdemeanors (so only felony convictions now affect voting rights), and permits individuals confined in jail without a conviction to vote. The bill also requires voter registration forms to be available in English, Spanish, and Braille, and mandates photo ID verification for first-time mail-in voters. These changes directly affect Missouri voters, including young residents, individuals with past felony convictions, and pre-trial detainees.
