We do in every state where a ID is required to vote.
- autoexec 4y agoIt looks like at least a few states that require an ID like Oklahoma and Michigan charge fees (initial and reoccurring) for a state ID at least. What form of accepted ID is free?

The law allows use of the voter identification card even though it does not include a photograph.

- tzs 4y agoMaybe in the sense that you do not have to give any money to the agency that issues the ID. Not free if you have to take a day of unpaid leave from work to go to that agency, or travel a great distance to get to their nearest office, or have to pay to get supporting documents (e.g., a certified copy of your birth certificate) to get the ID.
