HJR 64 -- Voter Identification

Sponsor:  Cox

Upon voter approval, this proposed constitutional amendment
requires persons seeking to vote to provide election officials
with a photographic personal identification including a valid
Missouri driver's license or nondriver's license and cards or
documents with photographs or a digital image issued by the
Missouri National Guard, the United States armed forces, or the
United States Department of Veterans Affairs.  Other documents
with both a signature and photograph issued by Missouri or the
United States may also be used to establish a voter's eligibility
to vote.  The state must provide at least one form of
identification at no cost to any otherwise qualified citizen who
desires one.  Individuals born on or before January 1, 1941,
persons with a physical or mental disability, or those who have
religious objections to photographic identification may vote by
provisional ballot.  The Secretary of State will provide
notification of the new voting requirements through a variety of
media advertisements and public service announcements, and the
information on the new requirements must also be posted on the
opening page of the official Internet web site of the Secretary
of State and the Governor.  The Director of the Department of
Revenue must prepare and provide an annual report by January 1 to
each member of the General Assembly  documenting the number of
individuals who have requested and received a nondriver's license
photo identification for voting purposes.
