AI Summary

This bill modifies South Carolina's voter identification laws by lowering the age for obtaining a state-issued identification card to five years old, making these cards free for individuals seventeen and older, and charging a fee for those between five and sixteen, while also removing provisions related to renewal fees and waivers for such cards. It mandates the State Election Commission to conduct an aggressive voter education program about these changes and to create a list of registered voters who, as of December 1, 2011, did not have a South Carolina driver's license or other photo identification from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), with the DMV required to provide a list of licensed individuals to the commission at no cost. The bill also expands the factors considered when determining a voter's domicile, requires boards of registration to consider these factors when challenges arise, and allows for the issuance of voter registration cards with photographs, which can be used for voting. Furthermore, it updates the acceptable forms of identification for voting to include a South Carolina driver's license, a DMV-issued photo ID, a passport, military identification, or a photo voter registration card, and introduces a provisional ballot process for voters who cannot produce the required identification, including provisions for religious objections and reasonable impediments to obtaining photo ID.
