relative to photo identification cards issued solely for the purpose of voting.
SB 660 creates a free voter identification card for individuals who need photo ID solely for voting purposes. It allows eligible voters to obtain a voucher from their town or city clerk, exempting them from the standard $20 fee for photo ID cards. The secretary of state will cover the cost of these cards using election funds, and the cards must be marked "for voter identification only." This directly affects voters who lack other acceptable photo ID but cannot afford standard ID cards, while maintaining the requirement for voter ID at polls.
