AN ACT relating to elections.

HB 180 amends Kentucky election law to remove credit and debit cards as acceptable secondary forms of identification for voters who cannot present primary proof of identity. Under the revised rules, individuals lacking standard ID must instead provide a Social Security card, a state-issued ID, a photo ID, or an electronic benefit card to cast a ballot. The bill also allows election officers to accept a voter's affirmation of identity if they personally know the voter. This change directly affects voters in Kentucky who rely on bank cards to verify their identity when voting in person or during absentee voting.
