Relating to the acceptance of a voter.
SB 2494 amends Texas Election Code sections to change voter identification requirements for in-person voting. It allows voters without photo ID to present one non-photo ID form accompanied by a "reasonable impediment" declaration instead of a photo ID. Election officers must document these declarations by attaching the voter's registration number to the form. The bill directly affects voters who face barriers obtaining photo ID, such as due to disability or lack of transportation. It also updates translation requirements for voter forms like the declaration document.
