Summary

The bill changes state election law so that anyone applying for voter registration must submit documentation proving U.S. citizenship, such as a driver’s license, tribal ID, birth certificate, passport page, or naturalization certificate. It also adds a provision that the same proof is needed when an individual declares an emergency, though the bill does not detail the emergency‑declaration process. The change aims to ensure only citizens are placed on the voter rolls.
