About 137,700 registered voters in Missouri did not have a state-issued identification in 2017, according to an analysis from the secretary of state’s office.
Another 140,000 voters had expired IDs, and 2,000 more voters had forfeited their driver’s licenses.
Under a bill passed Wednesday in the Missouri House, those registered voters would either have to get a government-issued photo ID or only be allowed to cast a provisional ballot on Election Day.
The provisional ballot would be counted only if the voter returns later that day with a photo ID or if election officials can verify their signature based on voter records.
