Arkansas House supports putting voter ID on ballot
LITTLE ROCK—The Arkansas House has passed a resolution that, if approved by voters next year, would require residents to present photographic identification in order to vote.
A proposed constitutional amendment by Republican Rep. Robin Lundstrum would also require the state to issue IDs at no charge to eligible voters if they don't already have one.
Lundstrum says the proposal will help ensure voter security at the ballot.
Under the proposal, voters would have to provide a valid ID when voting in person or when casting an absentee ballot. People who wish to vote in person but are unable to provide a valid ID would be allowed to vote using a provisional ballot.
