Added specific definitions for 'applicant' (individuals seeking licenses in-person) and 'voter registration information' (materials provided by the lieutenant governor).

Adjusted line numbering and formatting to align with standard legislative drafting conventions.

Changed the requirement to provide voter registration forms from being specific to 'each applicant' to being available to the 'public'.
