HB719

Montana HB719 revises election laws to require electors to provide their date of birth when registering to vote and when casting an absentee ballot.

Montana HB719 amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated to revise election laws related to an elector's date of birth. The bill requires electors to provide their date of birth when registering to vote and when casting an absentee ballot. It mandates that election administrators verify the date of birth on the signature envelope against the elector's voter registration form or absentee ballot request form. If the date of birth does not match, the ballot must be handled as a provisional ballot.
