Elections: voting procedures; process for voting without identification for election purposes; modify to include proof of identity and proof of state residency. Amends secs. 523, 523a, 813 & 829 of 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.523 et seq.).
SB 1034 modifies Michigan election laws to require voters to present identification and proof of state residency before receiving a ballot. If a voter cannot provide these documents, they must sign an affidavit and submit a provisional ballot that will be verified after the election rather than counted immediately. The bill also clarifies procedures for voters who arrive at a polling place without being on the registration list, requiring them to complete an application and swear they have already applied to vote. Specific acceptable documents for identity include birth certificates and military discharge papers, while proof of residency can include utility bills, bank statements, or lease agreements issued within the last 90 days. These changes directly affect all registered and unregistered electors participating in state elections.
