Test Run of New Voter ID Law on Tuesday

Polling places are preparing for the November 2012 general election when all voters - no matter how many years they have been voting - must show photo ID thanks to a new state law.

First-time voters will be asked on Tuesday to provide ID before voting in the primary election.

Poll workers are required to ask all voters for ID.

Do you think voters should be required to show a photo ID? Tell us in the comments section below.

Acceptable forms of ID include:

• Pennsylvania driver’s license
• Non-driver’s license photo identification
• Valid U.S. passport
• U.S. military ID
• Employee photo ID given through federal, state, county or municipal government
• Photo ID card from an accredited Pennsylvania public or private institute of higher education
• Photo ID cards from Pennsylvania care facilities including long-term care, assisted living and personal care homes

Voters who do not have one of the above listed forms of ID can get a free photo ID at a Pennsylvania Driver's License Center.
