Revises provisions relating to elections. (BDR 24-100)
AB 228 requires voters to present one of several specified forms of photo ID to vote in person, with exceptions for certain circumstances. It replaces Nevada’s mail ballot system with a new "absent ballot" process, requiring absentee ballots to be postmarked at least 3 days before election day and limiting who can return them (only the voter or a family member, not more than two per family). The bill also mandates the DMV issue free ID cards to registered voters facing financial hardship who lack acceptable ID, and repeals existing requirements for automatic mail ballot distribution. These changes directly affect all Nevada voters participating in person or by absentee ballot, as well as election officials and the DMV.
