Maryland HB462 requires voters to present proof of identity at polling places.

Maryland HB462 amends election law to require voters to present proof of identity at polling places. An election judge must establish the voter's identity by comparing the voter's birth date to the election register or by requiring the voter to present a valid government-issued photo ID or a valid non-government-issued photo ID along with a current utility bill or other government document. If a voter cannot provide the required identification, they must vote a provisional ballot. The bill also prohibits knowingly voting or attempting to vote under a false form of identification.
