The bill amends sections of the General Laws in Chapter 17-20, titled "Mail Ballots," to establish new requirements for the validity of mail ballot and emergency mail ballot applications. Specifically, it mandates that all applications must include proof of the voter's date of birth and either a Rhode Island driver's license number or a state identification number. This verification process is intended to enhance the integrity of the voting process by ensuring that only eligible voters can obtain mail ballots.
The act will take effect upon passage.
