REQUIRE VOTER I.D.

HB 170 requires New Mexico voters to present identification at polling places and when requesting mail ballots. It allows voters to use photo IDs, utility bills, or other government documents (including tribal IDs) instead of a driver's license for in-person voting, while requiring a driver's license or MVD ID plus Social Security number for mail ballots. The bill mandates the Motor Vehicle Division to issue free voter ID cards and provides free copies of ID documents at government offices. This directly affects all New Mexico voters participating in person or by mail, changing current voting requirements.
