Modifies provisions relating to elections
HB 1957 repeals and replaces several Missouri election law sections with new provisions. It requires voter registration forms to be available in English, Spanish, and Braille, and clarifies that people confined in jail but not yet convicted of a crime may still vote. The bill maintains restrictions on voting for individuals imprisoned after a felony conviction, on probation/parole for a felony, or adjudged incapacitated. It also reinforces that voters must register before the deadline and may need to provide photo ID when voting for the first time after registering by mail. These changes directly affect Missouri voters, election authorities, and those with felony convictions or incarceration status.
