| Register/Re-register to VOTE!
As we approach the last month of 2011 there is a sense of urgency about the new Kansas Voter Registration Laws. Although we are accustomed to thinking of registering to vote as a fairly simple, straight-forward task, we need everyone to be aware that the new laws will change that. The new laws will require photo ID beginning in the year 2012. The new laws will require anyone registering for the first time to show proof of citizenship beginning in 2013. The Kansas Legislature could move this date forward to 2012.
Members of the League of Women Voters are concerned that citizens could lose their right to vote simply because they don't have the required identification or the resources to obtain it. Persons at risk of losing their right to vote need to be encouraged to register before December 31, 2011.
