Missouri Photo-ID Voter Law in Effect

Missouri’s new photo voter ID law is officially in effect.

The law requires you to show a photo ID when you head to the polls, and also removes mail-in ballots while allowing certain absentee ballots. Student IDs and voter identification cards will no longer work.

The Missouri League of Women Voters sued to block the law, saying it unconstitutionally restricts voting rights by limiting which IDs can be used to cast regular ballots.
