Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler said Louisiana residents may vote without presenting a photo ID. Voters who either don’t have a photo ID or lost a driver’s license on Election Day are able to sign an affidavit with an on-site election commissioner and vote.

“Most people come in with a photo ID, and that’s the end of it,” Schedler said during a phone interview Friday. “The magic wand that Louisiana has over these other states with voter ID laws is that we think we hit a middle-ground approach to it.”

After the 2008 presidential election, Schedler’s office found an average of only 23 voters in each of the state’s parishes used the sworn affidavit rather than a photo ID to cast a ballot.
