I write to request protections for the right of citizens to vote in the development of regulations for the new (and unnecessary) photo ID law.  The procedures for obtaining the ID must be clear and simple, with the purpose of encouraging every citizen to vote, rather than being difficult and cumbersome with the result of discouraging people from voting.  To that end, I am asking your consideration of the following:

* Registrars should be required to make the photo ID procedure available out in the community, as well as in the office, within the limitations of the budget.

* Volunteers should be trained to handle the photo ID procedure, so that the number of procedures done is not limited by the staff available to do it.

* Photo IDs should be available in any jurisdiction, not just a voter's home jurisdiction.

* The photo ID procedure should be available during all of the hours the registrar's office is open.

* A registered voter whose name is found in the DMV database, should not be turned away from applying for a photo ID.
