HB 308 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Adds additional options for photo identification needed to vote

HB 308 expands acceptable forms of photo identification for voting in Missouri. It adds student IDs from Missouri schools or colleges, military/veteran IDs, and certain other documents (like a birth certificate with photo) to the list of valid IDs, alongside existing driver's licenses. Voters without required ID may cast a provisional ballot but must later return with one of the approved IDs or have their signature verified to have their ballot counted. The bill also requires the state to provide free copies of key documents (like birth certificates or marriage licenses) needed to obtain a qualifying ID, and to cover associated fees. This directly affects voters who lack standard photo ID but wish to vote in person.
