Jake Zuckerman at Cleveland.com reports:
A new
state law takes effect next week requiring Ohioans to present a
state-issued photo ID to vote, whether early or on Election Day.
The effective date next week means
the new law will apply to voters participating in local and county elections
taking place this year. Its fuller test, however, will occur next year in
presidential, U.S. Senate and statewide races.
In previous elections, Ohioans
could prove their identity with alternate forms of identification like a
utility bill or bank statement with their address on it. But come April 7,
they’ll need state-issued identification from Ohio or a valid U.S.
passport. . . .
