SB 362

Current law requires an individual who is a qualified elector to provide proof of identification to vote. The document that the individual presents for proof of identification must contain the individual’s name and a photograph of the individual. Documents that are considered proof of identification are enumerated in statute and include a U.S. passport, an identification card issued by a U.S. uniformed service, an operator’s license issued by the Department of Transportation, and an identification card issued by DOT.

This bill adds to the list of documents that may be used as proof of identification for voting a valid operator’s license or identification card that satisfies federal REAL ID requirements and is issued by a state of the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, or any other territory or possession of the United States.
