State Rep. Dan Shaul on Voter ID bill

(Jefferson City) Later this year, it will be likely that all voters will have to have a photo ID to take part in future elections. State Representative Dan Shaul of Imperial serves as the chair for Elections and Elected Officials. He says it was very important to move this piece of legislation along after a few roadblocks stopped it from getting through in 2021.

The Photo ID Bill passed both the House and Senate and will await the Governor’s signature this summer. The law, if signed will go into effect for the November election. However, it will not be inforced during the upcoming August Primary election.
