House Bill 719 revises voting laws in Montana by requiring electors to provide their date of birth both when registering to vote and when submitting absentee ballots. Specifically, the bill mandates that all voter registration applications include the applicant's date of birth, and absentee ballots must have the elector's date of birth on the signature envelope. The election administrator is responsible for verifying the date of birth before counting the absentee ballot, which aims to enhance the integrity of the voting process by ensuring accurate voter identification.

Additionally, the bill amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to incorporate these new requirements, including updates to absentee voting procedures and the verification process for signatures and dates of birth. It outlines the steps the election administrator must take in case of discrepancies, such as notifying the elector if their date of birth is missing or does not match existing records. Overall, these amendments are designed to strengthen voter identification measures and improve the security of the electoral process in Montana.
