Negotiators agreed Wednesday that the Senate’s version of a voter ID
bill would be enacted for the elections this fall, and the House version
would prevail after that.
If approved, a wide range of
identification would be acceptable this fall — including student IDs —
but in later elections, only driver’s licenses, state-issued
non-driver’s identification cards, passports or military IDs would be
allowed. Those who don’t have photo identification would sign an
affidavit and be photographed by an election official.
