Date of Birth Requirement on Absentee and Mail In Ballots

Montana HB 719 requires voters to include their date of birth on the signature envelope when returning absentee or mail-in ballots. This addition is part of the bill's goal to enhance voter identification and ballot validation. Election administrators must now verify the date of birth against the voter registration records before counting the ballot. 
Here's a more detailed breakdown: 
  • Date of Birth Requirement:
HB 719 mandates that voters provide their date of birth when registering to vote and on the signature envelope when submitting absentee or mail-in ballots.
  • Signature Envelope:
The bill specifies that the date of birth must be written on the signature envelope used for returning ballots.
  • Verification Process:
Election officials are required to check the date of birth on the ballot envelope against the voter registration information.
  • Discrepancy Resolution:
If the date of birth is missing or doesn't match the records, the election administrator must notify the voter and allow them to correct the error.
  • Purpose:
The aim of this change is to strengthen voter identification procedures and ensure the integrity of the election process.
