Voter Photo ID

The League of Women Voters of St. Louis is excited to help engage and empower Ferguson residents to take part in their government and wield influence over their community moving forward.

The League believes that access to the vote is about equality, not politics. Fortunately, Leagues across the country are fighting discriminatory voter ID bills – and succeeding!

The League of Women Voters of the United States was joined by the League of Women Voters of Texas and the League of Women Vote

The League was pleased to join dozens of voting rights advocates, state and local elections officials, congressional staff and academics at last week’s 2015 Voting and Elections Summit in Washington D.C.

The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin has been running an election observer program since 2010. Read their guest blog post on their observations from Election Day 2014.

I worked with the Election Protection Hotline to help voters rectify the issues they faced when attempting to vote. This experience showed how far we have to go to have fair elections.

These elections are about our jobs, our health, our communities, our security and our future. Are you ready to vote?

In Virginia, voter photo ID will be required for the first time and as many as 200,000 eligible voters may not have the requisite ID.

In Austin, Dallas and San Antonio where I visited last week, election officials are taking a professional approach to training their poll workers and their staff in preparation for early voting and Election Day.

Now is the time to start thinking about how and when you’ll vote. In addition to getting ready to vote as you have in years past, voters in many states may also need to show voter identification in order to cast a ballot.
