Requires proof of identity to vote. (BDR 24-624)
AB 147 requires Nevada voters to present one of several acceptable forms of identification - such as a driver's license, state ID, passport, military ID, or tribal ID - to vote in person. For mail ballots, voters must include the last four digits of their driver's license or Social Security number (or their voter registration ID) on the return envelope, with election officials verifying this against records. The bill mandates that Nevada’s Department of Motor Vehicles issue free ID cards to registered voters without acceptable ID who claim financial hardship, and allows voters without ID to cast a provisional ballot if they submit ID to election officials by 5 p.m. the Friday after the election. These changes apply to all Nevada voters casting ballots in person or by mail, with specific exemptions for voters aged 70+ (ID may be expired any length of time).
