HB544:

Voter identification; optional restrictive identification requirement.

Bill Summary:

Voter identification; optional restrictive identification
requirement. Allows a voter to opt into being required to show
a valid photo identification issued by the Commonwealth, one of its
political subdivisions, or the United States when voting in person.
When a voter offers to vote and the pollbook indicates he has opted
into such requirement, he shall be required to show a valid photo
identification issued by the Commonwealth, one of its political subdivisions,
or the United States in order to vote a regular ballot. The bill
requires the voter registration application to permit an applicant
to opt into this requirement and the Department of Elections to provide
the means for currently registered voters to opt in as well.
