Summary of the Introduced Bill

HJR 9 -- Voter Identification

Sponsor:  Cox

Upon voter approval, this proposed constitutional amendment
authorizes the General Assembly to require any person seeking to
vote in a public election to provide election officials a form of
identification that may be prescribed by law, including a
government-issued photo identification, in order to show that he
or she is a United States citizen lawfully residing in this
state.  The State of Missouri will provide at no cost at least
one form of the identification required to vote to any otherwise
qualified citizen without proper identification who desires one
in order to vote.
