This bill amends R.S.19:15-24 to require registered voters to present photo identification when voting at polling places in New Jersey. The new legal language specifies that district boards must verify a voter's qualifications by examining their photo ID, along with their signature and an affidavit stating their qualifications. If a board member allows a challenged voter to receive a ballot without proper verification, they may be deemed to have acted illegally. The bill also establishes that any challenges to a voter's eligibility must be recorded in the signature comparison record.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new section that outlines acceptable forms of photo identification, which include a valid New Jersey driver's license, a New Jersey REAL ID, a New Jersey 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. The bill aims to enhance the integrity of the voting process while ensuring that voters still have the opportunity to establish their right to vote if challenged.
