Action | Proposed Regulation on Voter Photo Identification Document |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 5/12/2014 |
The proposed Regulations provide for the Registrar to go to remote locations to capture the photo and signature of the applicant. This service should be mandatory to eliminate the hardship of elderly, low-income and disabled voters travelling to the Registrar's office. This especially applies to geographically large jurisdictions where the population is widely distributed. Every effort should be made to insure that elderly, disabled and low-income voters are not disenfranchised. In a recent webinar, SBE stated that the remote capability was being developed to be implemented after an initial period following the July 1 implementation date.
