Albuquerque Passes Voter ID Law

Requires people who vote in person to present a "current valid identification card containing the voter's name and photograph"

A new law in Albuquerque New Mexico requires people who vote in person to present a "current valid identification card containing the voter's name and photograph." Among the acceptable forms of identification are a driver's license, a credit card, and a voter identification card issued by the City Clerk. Absentee voters are exempt from any photo ID requirements.

The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico filed a lawsuit last week asking a federal court to declare Albuquerque's recently passed Voter ID Amendment "unconstitutional, illegal, null and void."
