This bill mandates that registered voters present photo identification at polling places before being issued a ballot. The acceptable forms of identification include a valid New Jersey driver's license, a New Jersey REAL ID identification card, a Division of Motor Vehicles identification card, or a United States passport. If a voter fails to present the required identification or if the identification does not match the voter's appearance or signature, their eligibility to vote may be challenged.

Additionally, the bill amends existing law to include the requirement for photo identification as part of the process for determining a voter's qualifications. The district boards are tasked with ensuring that voters are qualified and entitled to vote, and they must now consider photo identification alongside other evidence, such as the voter's signature and an affidavit regarding their qualifications. This legislation aims to enhance the integrity of the voting process while still allowing voters the opportunity to establish their right to vote if challenged.
