25 Case 1:12-cv RMC-DST-RLW Document 210 Filed 06/20/12 Page 25 of 53 BILL ANALYSIS Senate Research Center S.B R3524 JRJ-D By: Fraser, et al. Senate Committee of the Whole 3/3/2009 As Filed AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT Under current law, to vote a regular ballot, voters are only required to present a voter registration certificate to a poll worker. While this practice attempts to ensure that only registered voters receive a regular ballot on Election Day, it leaves a potential loophole for fraud. Individuals are not required to show identification to register to vote. Because of this, it is possible for an unscrupulous individual to submit several falsified voter registration applications and to receive the voter registration certificates for the "fake" individuals. With the current process, no statutory standards exist to verify the identity of individuals at the polling place when they present a voter registration certificate. As proposed, S.B. 362 modifies provisions requiring a voter to present proof of identification when offering to vote. RULEMAKING AUTHORITY This bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, institution, or agency. SECTION BY SECTION ANALYSIS SECTION 1. Amends Subchapter A, Chapter 15, Election Code, by adding Section , as follows: Sec NOTICE OF IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. (a) Requires the voter registrar of each county to provide notice of the identification requirements for voting prescribed by Chapter 63 (Accepting Voter) and a detailed description of those requirements with each voter registration certificate issued under Section (Initial Registration Certificate) or renewal registration certificate issued under Section (Renewal Registration Certificate). (b) Requires the secretary of state to prescribe the wording of the notice to be included on the certificate under this section. SECTION 2. Amends Subchapter A, Chapter 31, Election Code, by adding Section , as follows: Sec VOTER IDENTIFICATION EDUCATION. Requires the secretary of state and the voter registrar of each county that maintains a website to provide notice of the identification requirements for voting prescribed by Chapter 63 on each entity's respective website. Requires the secretary of state to prescribe the wording of the notice to be included on the websites. SECTION 3. Amends Section , Election Code, by adding Subsection (c), to require that the training standards adopted under Subsection (a) (relating to certain actions required by the secretary of state regarding training standards and materials for election judges) include provisions on the acceptance and handling of the identification presented by a voter to an election officer under Section (Regular Procedure for Accepting Voter).

26 Case 1:12-cv RMC-DST-RLW Document 210 Filed 06/20/12 Page 26 of 53 SECTION 4. Amends Section (a), Election Code, to require each election clerk to complete the part of the training program relating to the acceptance and handling of the identification presented by a voter to an election officer under Section SECTION 5.

Requires that the notice and list be printed using a font that is at least 24- point. SECTION 6. Amends Section , Election Code, by amending Subsections (b), (c), (d), and (f) and adding Subsection (g), as follows: (b) Requires a voter, on offering to vote, to present to an election officer at the polling place, the voter's voter registration certificate and either one form of identification listed in Section (a), or two different forms of identification listed in Section (b). Makes a nonsubstantive change. (c) Requires an election officer, on presentation of the documentation required by Subsection (b), rather than a registration certificate, to determine whether the voter's name on the registration certificate is on the list of registered voters for the precinct. (d) Requires that the voter be accepted for voting if the voter's name is on the precinct list of registered voters and the voter's identity can be verified from the documentation presented under Subsection (b). (f) Requires the election officer, after determining whether to accept the voter, to return the voter's documentation, rather than registration certificate, to the voter. (g) Authorizes the voter, if the requirements for identification prescribed by Subsection (b) are not met, to be accepted for provisional voting only under Section (Provisional Voting). Requires an election officer to inform a voter who is not accepted for voting under this section of the voter's right to cast a provisional ballot under Section SECTION 7. Amends Section (a), Election Code, to require that a voter who, when offering to vote, presents a voter registration certificate indicating that the voter is currently registered in the precinct in which the voter is offering to vote, but whose name is not on the precinct list of registered voters, be accepted for voting if the voter's identity can be verified from the documentation presented under Section (b). SECTION 8. Amends Section (a), Election Code, to require that a voter who, when offering to vote, presents a voter registration certificate indicating that the voter is currently registered in a different precinct from the one in which the voter is offering to vote, and whose name is not on the precinct list of registered voters, be accepted for voting if the voter's identity can be verified from the documentation presented under Section (b) and the voter executes an affidavit stating certain information.
