Current Bill Summary


HCS#2/SJR 2 - Upon voter approval, this constitutional amendment provides that a voter seeking to vote in person may be required by general law to identify himself or herself as a United States Citizen and a resident of the state by producing valid, government-issued photo identification. Exceptions may be provided for by general law.

Advance voting may be established by general law from the third Saturday before an election until the first Tuesday before an election excluding Sundays.

This resolution is similar to HJR 64 (2010).
