44.3.2011    PROVISIONAL REGISTRATION PENDING VERIFICATION

(1) All applicants for voter registration who apply under this subchapter shall be registered provisionally pending verification by an election administrator or their designee of the applicant's Montana driver's license number, Montana state identification card number, or the last four digits of the applicant's social security number. If the applicant is unable to provide a Montana driver's license number, Montana state identification card number, or the last four digits of the applicant's social security number, the applicant shall provide a form of identification required under 13-2-110, MCA, and shall be registered provisionally until the identification information provided by the applicant is verified by an election administrator. 

(2) Identification information is verified for registration if it is a Montana driver's license number, a Montana state identification card number, or the last four digits of a social security number validated through the statewide voter registration system.  Other forms of identification allowed for voter registration in ARM 44.3.2002 are verified if an election administrator determines that the identification information identifies the applicant, satisfies the requirements of ARM 44.3.2002, and appears to be genuine and authentic.

(3)  If an election administrator or their designee cannot verify the identification information submitted by an applicant, the election administrator shall notify the applicant as provided by ARM 44.3.2013(2).
