BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakotans may not be able to vote in future elections if they don't bring any identification to the polls and no one can vouch for them.
A voter who doesn't bring an ID to the polling place now has the option of signing a sworn statement saying they're eligible to vote. If they sign, the ballot is counted.
The North Dakota House has approved a bill that eliminates the option of signing a sworn statement.
A person has to bring identification or they won't be allowed to vote, unless another eligible voter can vouch that the person is eligible.
The bill was approved 68-22 on Friday. It now goes to the North Dakota Senate.
