This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to require individuals applying for absentee ballots to include a copy of their West Virginia driver's license or an alternative form of identification approved by the West Virginia Secretary of State. The new provision is inserted as section (6) under the absentee voting application requirements, stating that applicants must submit this identification when submitting their absentee ballot applications.

The bill aims to enhance the verification process for absentee voting by ensuring that potential voters provide valid identification, thereby aiming to maintain the integrity of the voting process. The existing provisions regarding the application process for absentee ballots remain unchanged, but the addition of the identification requirement represents a significant update to the absentee voting regulations in West Virginia.
