This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to require individuals applying for absentee ballots to submit a copy of either their West Virginia driver's license or alternative identification information authorized by the West Virginia Secretary of State. This new requirement is inserted as a sixth provision under the absentee voting application process, which outlines the necessary information and forms that voters must provide when requesting to vote absentee.

The bill aims to enhance the verification process for absentee voting by ensuring that applicants provide valid identification, thereby potentially increasing the integrity of the voting process. The inclusion of this identification requirement is intended to align with broader efforts to secure election procedures and maintain voter confidence in the electoral system.
