Missouri has a new law regulating voting, including the state’s new photo ID rules.

The new law requires voters to use a government-issued photo ID to vote. People who don’t have a photo ID on Election Day will have to vote with a provisional ballot, which takes a few extra steps before it can be counted.

The photo ID provision is just one aspect of the broader new Missouri voting law. Parts of the law include changes to who can register voters, how absentee voting will work, rules around the use of touch screen voting machines and the removal of presidential primaries.

There are currently two lawsuits challenging the new law. The League of Women Voters and the Missouri NAACP filed a suit that argues the new photo ID requirements violate the state’s constitution, and one challenging new restrictions to who can register people to vote.

“We want to make sure that we know you are who you say you are and that you’re the person that’s supposed to be voting,” Missouri Secretary of State John Ashcroft told The Star about the new photo ID requirements. “But at the same time, we don’t want to turn anybody away.”
