Beginning in January, a change in Tennessee’s voting laws will require that registered voters present photo identification when casting their votes in person at a polling place.

“It’s another check and balance against voter fraud,” Anderson County Election Administrator Mark Stephens told The Oak Ridger.

Effective Jan. 1, 2012, the Tennessee Voter Identification Act is an amendment to state law that previously required voters to present documents bearing their signatures when signing in at their polling places.

“I don’t believe it’s going to be that big an inconvenience,” Stephens said of the new law.
