NC county boards of election offering free photo IDs for voting

[RandySF]

Registered voters can now obtain free photo ID from their county boards of election.

Voters will be asked to show photo identification when they cast ballots in municipal elections this fall. Drivers licenses, state ID cards, passports and other forms of identification can be used.

The state Board of Elections announced Wednesday that county election offices are ready to offer IDs to registered voters who don’t have any of the other acceptable forms of identification.

Voters will be asked for their name, date of birth, and the last four digits of their Social Security number, the state Board of Elections said in a news release. The IDs may be ready on the spot in most counties, but a few counties will have to mail the IDs or have voters pick them up later.

North Carolina has a voter ID law in place for the first time since the spring 2016 primary.

1. That's good

If photo ID is required to vote, the state should provide it for free.
