HOUSE BILL 124
Law
Voting, identification, students
VOTERS – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding accepted voter identification at the polls.
RS30169 / H0124
This legislation removes student ID cards from section 34-1113 as an acceptable form of personal identification to vote at the polls. There is a lack of uniformity in the sophistication of student ID cards. Statewide, only 104 voters who voted at the 2022 General Election used a student ID card to vote, which was the second least utilized form of personal identification. Alternative forms of personal identification are available and accepted at the polls.
There will be no impact to the General Fund, since this legislation creates no new requirements of state government.
