To require voters to include either their West Virginia driver’s license number or any alternative identification information authorized by the West Virginia Secretary of State on their absentee ballot applications

HB 2077 requires voters applying for absentee ballots in West Virginia to include a copy of their West Virginia driver's license or alternative identification approved by the Secretary of State on their absentee ballot application forms. This applies specifically to anyone requesting an absentee ballot for any election, including mail-in or electronic voting. The bill adds a new requirement to the existing application process, which already includes name, address, and signature, but now mandates this ID verification step. It does not change the ballot itself or voting methods, only the application documentation for absentee voting. The Secretary of State will determine which alternative ID options are authorized.
