New Voter ID Law UPDATED

While I am experiencing a high volume of hits today, I would like to take this opportunity to share the following Voter ID information.

From the Municipal website:
Voters will be required to present IDs in order to cast ballots in the November election. Your ID will be accepted it if "substantially conforms" to your voter registration. For a short summary of what sorts of IDs are acceptable and what to do if you don't have a proper ID, visit www.VotesPA.com and click on the red Voter ID link for information. To read a comprehensive guide to the new law go to http://www.alleghenycounty.us/elect/PhotoID/GeneralFAQ.pdf. Copies of the short version are available at the customer service center in the municipal building. If you do not qualify for a PennDOT driver's license or ID., you can get the new Department of State Voter ID card from PennDOT at a drivers license center. For further info about how to apply for the new ID and to locate the driver's license center nearest to you, visit www.dmv.state.pa.us or call 1-800-932-4600.
If you have already registered or are not sure whether you are registered here, you can confirm your registration status.

September 13, 2012 9:00 PM On the morning of Saturday, September 22, our commissioners will have printed information regarding how to obtain a voter ID for those who might need one, so that everyone can vote in the November elections. Look for them at the following places: Dave Brumfield, post office/ Galleria; Matt Kluck, golf course; Kristen Linfante, library; John Bendel, Beverly Road, and Kelly Fraasch, Uptown at the municipal building/Rolliers.

I checked the "Confirm..." link for all family members who remain in Allegheny County as well as those who live elsewhere but registered here originally. It works and is accurate.

Matt Smiths office on Castle Shannon Blvd. also has printed information packets on this.
