PHOENIX – Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has signed legislation requiring identification to cast a ballot at an early voting center.
The measure signed Friday requires voters to provide the same forms of ID they’d have to show to vote on Election Day.
Republicans passed the bill in party-line votes of the House and Senate saying people voting early shouldn’t be able to get around the identification requirement.
Democrats say voter ID laws suppress the votes of people who move a lot, who don’t always update the address on their driver’s license.
Arizona requires voters to show a driver’s license, tribal enrollment card or other government identification with a photo and address. Voters can also show two utility bills with an address but no photo.
