This bill amends the election procedure regarding the identification required to obtain a ballot. Specifically, it prohibits the use of student identification cards as valid forms of identification for voting purposes. Additionally, the bill modifies the time frame in which expired identification can be utilized; it allows voters to use identification that has expired for no more than 60 days, while voters aged 75 and older may use identification that has expired for up to one year.

The legal language in the bill includes the repeal and reenactment of RSA 659:13, II(a), which now specifies that valid photo identification must include the individual's name, a photograph, and an expiration date that adheres to the new guidelines. The bill lists acceptable forms of identification, which include state-issued driver's licenses, identification cards from the motor vehicles division, U.S. armed services identification cards, and U.S. passports or passcards. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
