Changes have been made to the Penn State id+ Card to help provide a valid voting credential for students who have no other form of acceptable ID for voting under Pennsylvania’s new law.
An expiration date has been added to all id+ cards issued since May 7, 2012 — meeting the requirements of the new Voter ID Law. Stickers with expiration dates will be issued to existing student cardholders who wish to use their id+ card to vote. Many Penn State students already possess a Pennsylvania driver’s license and will not need an id+ card expiration date sticker. Students who request a sticker will need to present their id+ card and come prepared to affirm that they have no other form of valid ID for voting.
Valid forms of ID under the new law include a: Pennsylvania driver’s license; Pennsylvania Department of Transportation photo ID card; U.S. passport; U.S. military ID; employee photo ID issued by the Federal government, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania County or Pennsylvania Municipal government; and a photo ID issued by a Pennsylvania care facility.
Expiration date stickers will be issued at Penn State campuses starting on Sept. 12 at the locations listed below. They will be available for pick-up until Election Day on Nov. 6.
