Nebraska voters have overwhelmingly approved a state constitutional amendment to require voters to provide photo identification at polling places to legally cast ballots. A similar measure in Arizona appears to have failed.
Nebraskans on Nov. 8 made their state the 22nd in the nation to require a valid photo ID to vote by adopting Initiative 432, which garnered nearly 66 percent of the tally on the state’s midterm ballot.
Arizona’s Proposition 309, which would have required birthdates and government-issued ID numbers with early ballots and photo ID for in-person voting, was trailing by less than 950 votes, approximately 0.8 of a percent, as of Nov. 16, but with 99 percent-plus of ballots counted, it is unlikely to advance.
