House Bill 719 revises voting laws in Montana by requiring electors to provide their date of birth both when registering to vote and when returning absentee ballots. Specifically, absentee voters must include their date of birth on the signature envelope of their ballot, which the election administrator will verify before counting. This new requirement aims to enhance the integrity of the voting process by ensuring accurate identification of voters.

The bill also makes several amendments to the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to incorporate these changes. It specifies that if the date of birth on the absentee ballot's signature envelope does not match the date of birth on the elector's registration form, the election administrator must notify the elector. Additionally, the bill clarifies procedures for handling absentee ballots and outlines the responsibilities of election officials in verifying voter information, thereby reinforcing the security and accuracy of the electoral process.
