According to Goins, the state of Tennessee is teaming up with the AARP to help protect the rights of the most vulnerable voters.


“There’s some misinformation out there, and there’s some correct information out there,” Goins said.


Goins answered questions and explained that even expired IDs will be accepted.


He said if you don’t bring a photo ID on election day you will be asked to vote on a provisional ballot.


“It’s important to get the word out now,” he added.

Goins said FREE state photo IDs will be issued to anyone including the homeless or those who cannot afford to purchase an ID, but those free IDs have one exception according to state law.


“It only allows free photo IDs for those who will use that photo ID to vote,” Goins said.


Wednesday night, another town hall meeting to discuss the affects of the new voter ID law will take place at the Board of Education at 6pm.
