Secretary of State Mac Warner announced the launch of a new program this month to educate the public on the state’s new voter identification law, which goes into effect Jan. 1.
The “Be Registered & Be Ready to Vote” campaign will help educate voters on the kinds of photo and non-photo identification required at the polls starting in 2018. The public campaign will also address exceptions and frequently asked questions.
“With some municipalities holding city elections at the beginning of the year, we want the public to be aware they will need to show some kind of identification to poll workers,” Warner said in a release. “We want the process to be easy for our voters and to make clear that no voter will be turned away from a polling place because of lack of ID.”
