Bill Text

Kentucky HB812 amends voter qualification rules, requiring a written oath for voters challenged at the polls.

Kentucky HB812 modifies the state's election laws by requiring a voter to sign a written oath if their right to vote is challenged, except for cases of failure to provide proof of identification. The oath must be in a form prescribed by the State Board of Elections. This change aims to ensure that only qualified voters cast ballots, while also providing a mechanism for investigating potential voter fraud through grand jury investigations.
