Voter Identification

PURPOSE: This rule makes clear that state-issued cards for photo identification for voting issued by other Missouri state agencies must meet certain guidelines. A Department of Revenue driver or non-driver license that is used as a photo voter identification as outlined in section 115.427.1, RSMo, is to be used as a voter identification card. Any other state agency issued identification card, used for the agency’s specific purpose or program, must be made of plastic or other comparable material and meet the required information as outlined in section 115.427.1(3), RSMo, in order for the identification card to be accepted and used as photo identification for voting. Photo identification cards must also be manufactured using materials and processes that will prohibit, as nearly as possible, the ability to reproduce, alter, counterfeit, forge, or duplicate without ready detection.
