Voter registration.

In plain English

Changes Indiana's voter registration rules. It bars student ID documents from counting as proof of identification, requires county offices to update voter lists within 48 hours of receiving information that calls for it, and accepts a consular report of birth abroad as proof of citizenship. It also requires local health officers to share death records with county voter offices every quarter, and makes other changes.
