What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This proposed constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2009 legislature on

first consideration, provides that a qualified elector may not vote, or register to vote,

at the polls on election day unless the elector presents a photographic identification

issued by this state or by the federal government. After the date of ratification, the

legislature, by law, with the concurrence of two-thirds of all the members present,

may exempt any class of electors from these requirements.

A proposed constitutional amendment requires adoption by two successive

legislatures, and ratification by the people, before it can become effective.
