Voters will need government-issued photo ID to cast a ballot
in 2016 under a state law set last year by the Republican-controlled General
Assembly.
The law that requires the voter identification has other
provisions that include ending same-day voter registration, trimming the period
for early voting from 17 days to 10 and eliminating a program that encourages
high school students to register to vote in advance of their 18th birthdays.
The political parties said they would work with their
members to make sure those who need the free IDs would get them in time.
