Re: Students w/o Colo. ID can't vote!

Evan,

During the primary there were many forms of ID that could be used:

#  Colorado drivers’ license
# ID card issued by the Colorado Dept. of Revenue
# Current U.S. Passport
# Employee ID with your picture, issued by any federal, state or local 
government entity or other Colorado political subdivision
# Pilot’s license issued by the FAA or other U.S. authorized agency
# U.S. military ID with your picture on it
# Copy of a current (no more than 60 days old) utility bill, bank 
statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document 
that shows the name and address of the elector on it (a cable 
television bill does NOT meet this requirement)
# Medicare or Medicaid card
# Certified birth certificate issued in the U.S.
# Certified documentation of naturalization

See http://www.co.boulder.co.us/clerk/elections/current/id.htm

I do not pretend to see the logic in the use of a birth certificate, 
for example, but there it is. I think we need to inform students to 
check the Web site of the county clerk in the county that they will be 
voting in.

All the best,
Mary Eberle
