The bill would let voters who must show identification to vote in a federal election meet that requirement with a sworn written statement. In-person voters would give the statement to an election official; mail voters would send it with their ballot. States would provide pre-printed forms and information about this option. Voters using the statement could not be required to cast a provisional ballot. The option would not apply to certain first-time voters who register by mail. The changes would apply to elections held on or after enactment.
If you are required to show identification to vote in a federal election, you could use a signed statement under penalty of perjury saying that you have identification and are registered to vote. This option would be available for in-person and mail voting, except for the specified first-time voters who register by mail.
The bill does not specify any costs.
