Summary

The bill would make Florida election supervisors check a registrant's citizenship using driver‑license, state‑ID or the last four SSN digits, and refer false statements to the Office of Election Crimes. It also adds a list of acceptable photo IDs at the polls and allows provisional ballots for voters without proper ID or whose ID shows non‑citizen status. The changes affect voters, election officials, and the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
