Constitutional Amendment/Photo ID.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a constitutional amendment in North Carolina to require all voters to present photographic identification before casting a ballot, expanding a rule that currently applies only to those voting in person. The legislation would place this change on the ballot for a statewide vote on November 5, 2024, asking voters to decide whether to mandate photo ID for everyone regardless of how they vote. If approved by a majority of voters, the amendment would become part of the state constitution and allow the General Assembly to set specific rules for acceptable forms of identification. If rejected, the proposal will have no effect and the existing voting requirements will remain unchanged.
