Georgia: Secretary of State sends letters to the non-I.D.'ed
AccessNorthGA.com reports: Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel has begun Phase Two of her office’s Photo ID outreach and education campaign in preparation for municipal elections to be held in 90 counties - including Hall - on November 6. The campaign is aimed at reminding voters they must present photo identification for in-person voting. Photo identification is not required to vote with an absentee ballot.
The Secretary of State’s Office is sending letters to over 166,000 active and inactive registered voters in the 90 counties who may not have a Georgia driver’s license or state identification card. The voters receiving this letter were identified through a database match of active and inactive registered voters and Georgia Department of Drivers Services (DDS) records.
“We encourage every registered voter who does not yet have photo identification to contact their county registrar’s office or DDS center. We want to ensure that every citizen who needs a free photo ID card knows where to obtain it,” said Handel.
Registered voters in the 90 counties believed to not have a driver’s license or other photo identification will also receive an informational brochure and postcard in the weeks leading up to the November 6 election date. -- Secretary of State begins Phase 2 of photo ID outreach
