What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This proposed constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2009 legislature on first consideration, provides that a qualified elector may not vote, or register to vote, at the polls on election day unless the elector presents a photographic identification issued by this state or by the federal government. After the date of ratification, the legislature, by law, with the concurrence of two-thirds of all the members present, may exempt any class of electors from these requirements.
A proposed constitutional amendment requires adoption by two successive legislatures, and ratification by the people, before it can become effective.
