The appeal to the new Voter ID law is in the hands of the State Supreme Court, so until a decision is made on the appeal the law stands. That means you will need a photo ID to vote come November.
The much-talked about PennDOT issued ID looks very much like a driver’s license. But if you don’t have all the documents needed to get one, the state is offering an alternative voting-only ID as well.
As the law stands, you need an ID to vote at the polls.
PennDOT is currently waving the $13.50 fee to obtain a general PennDOT ID to those who qualify. But there are a few required documents.
“Birth certificate or naturalization papers, proof of residence and social security card,” stated Division Manager for Driver Licensing Scott Shenk.
The PennDOT ID can be used for more than just voting.
It can be used for pharmacy pick-ups, picking up packages, all kinds of places require IDs now.
But should you not have a birth certificate or social security card, PennDOT will offer an alternative option for those who still want to vote.
Starting Monday August 27 the Department of State voter card will he offered. A person must affirm they do not posses any other approved ID for voting purposes, provide two proofs of residence such as a utility bill, a date of birth and a Social Security Number.
The voter ID card will only be able to be used for voting, unlike the PennDOT ID. Again they will be available August 27.
