I do not understand why you insist on making voting so much more difficult when you should be ENCOURAGING citizens to vote!   Since the regulations have not been finalized I would suggest that the process should be simple, accessible, straightforward and non-threatening.

Taking the photo and obtaining a signature for the ID should not be limited to registrars or their staff; they should be able to designate persons to do this, such as volunteers.

  A registered voter should be able to obtain a photo ID at ANY registrar's office in Virginia, not just in the jurisdiction where they live.

Registered voters must be able to apply for a photo ID during all days and hours that the registrar's office is open.

 A registered voter applying for a photo ID should not be turned away if her name is found in the DMV database.

Provisions must be made  for a temporary voter identification document for those who  apply close to the next election. 

The document form must be the same throughout Virginia and provided by the Department of Elections.

Thank you
