Creating the state elections confidence using rigorous examination act.

SB 5817, the "State Elections Confidence Using Rigorous Examination Act," proposes changes to Washington's election processes affecting voters and state agencies. It mandates a study by the University of Washington on voter registration system security, focusing on preventing duplicate registrations and identifying ineligible voters. The bill requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote, rather than an affirmation. Furthermore, it adds a requirement for voters to enclose a copy of their valid photo identification when returning their ballot.
