Indiana election bill would ban student IDs as acceptable voter identification
INDIANAPOLIS — Election security continues to be a top priority for state and federal officials, but recent legislative changes have sparked concerns that some voters may become disenfranchised.
Senate Bill 10 would no longer allow students to use their student ID as a form of voter identification, something that's been allowed for the last 16 years.
"It's a solution in search of a problem," Julia Vaughn, executive director of Common Cause Indiana, said. "There is nothing that has been shown to be less secure about a University ID as opposed to an Indiana Driver's License or public identification card."
Supporters of the legislation cite worries about transient voters — those without permanent residency — casting ballots in communities where they do not live.
