Electionline.org Releases Updated Information on State Voter ID Laws Following Supreme Court Ruling on Indiana Law

The U.S. Supreme Court today upheld Indiana's voter identification law requiring all voters to show a government-issued photo ID at the polls. A split decision by the justices, however, did little to quell the partisan debate over voter ID laws in state capitols and in Congress and could prompt another series of legal challenges in a number of states where lawmakers are considering similar changes.

Electionline.org has tracked voter identification practices and legislation for more than seven years and has information and spokespeople available to the media.

WHAT: Available resources include up-to-the-minute data on 50-state voter ID practices, a national map showing at-a-glance voter ID rules as well as nonpartisan and non-advocacy experts.

WHERE: www.electionline.org 
 
WHO:  The following spokespeople are available for comment:

Doug Chapin, Director, Electionline.org, Pew Center on the States
Dan Seligson, Manager, Electionline.org, Pew Center on the States

CONTACT: Dan Seligson at 202-552-2039 or 202-365-5568, or Jessica Riordan at 215-575-4886.
