NC State Board of Elections push to get more photo IDs approved ahead of general election

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- North Carolina State Board of Elections is opening another application period to get more photo IDs approved for voting purposes.

Starting Monday, eligible schools and government agencies can apply to have their student and employee photo IDs approved for the general election.

Photo IDs are now required to vote by law. If a voter cannot show a photo ID when voting in person, they can still vote by filling out an ID Exception Form.

So far, more than a hundred student and employee IDs have been approved.

New applications will be accepted through June 14.
