HR 4650 United States House · 118th Congress

American Confidence in Elections: District of Columbia Provisional Ballot Reform Act

This bill amends federal election law to establish specific rules for provisional ballots in Washington, D.C. elections. It allows voters to cast provisional ballots if their name isn't on the polling place list or if they lack ID (but requires submitting ID to D.C. election officials by 5 p.m. two days after the election for the ballot to count). It also clarifies that voters who appear on the voter list for a different polling place can cast a provisional ballot there, but must prove eligibility for that location to have the vote counted. The changes directly affect D.C. voters and election officials handling provisional ballots in all D.C. elections, including federal races and ballot initiatives.
