AN ACT TO AMEND TITLES 15 AND 21 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PHOTOGRAPHIC IDENTIFICATION IN DELAWARE ELECTIONS AND OBTAINING NONDRIVER IDENTIFICATION CARDS.

To protect the integrity of our elections, this Act provides that in order to vote, a voter, prior to being permitted to vote, must be able to present a photographic identification, specifically a Driver’s License or a Nondriver Identification Card issued by the Division of Motor Vehicles, or a United States Passport or a military identification card. In order to make obtaining an identification card easier on the general public, the first nondriver identification card issued by the Division shall be free, as opposed to the current fee of $40.00. Subsequent cards, upon expiration, will be issued for a reduced fee of $20.00. Department of Elections for each county will now be required to conduct at lest 2 countywide programs at locations reasonably convenient and accessible to the citizens.
