Voter Photo ID
 

Voter Photo ID

I have a great concern with the issuing of temporary Photo IDs for voters due to the proximity to Election Day, It was stated by SBE staff that either myself or any of my staff could sign the temporary Voter Photo ID and that our locality would have to train my Officers of Election to accept these temporary Voter Photo IDs used by the voter on Election Day as the voter's qualifiying ID.  My question is what if the voter is from another locality?  Does my locality have to give the voter a temporary Voter Photo ID, signed by me or my staff, since none of us work in the locality the voter lives in?  I believe all voters who wish to acquire a Voter photo ID (regular or temporary) should have to go the registrar's office in the locality they are registered in.
