Revise election laws related to an elector's date of birth
HB 719 revises state election laws by requiring electors to provide their date of birth during the voter registration process. It also mandates that absentee voters include their date of birth on the signature envelope when returning their ballot. Election administrators are then required to verify this date of birth against registration records before counting an absentee ballot. This bill directly affects individuals registering to vote and those casting absentee ballots.
