LAURINBURG — In July, the Scotland County Board of Elections will hold an educational seminar about voter photo identification requirements in 2020.
The SCBOE stated in a press release: “Back in the November 2018 election, voters approved an amendment to require voters to present photo identification before voting. Therefore, starting in 2020, voters will be required to show a photo ID before they can vote.”
This will include all methods of voting – in person and absentee by mail voting.
“The Scotland County Board of Elections will be holding an educational seminar on this topic to inform everyone of this requirement, how to obtain a free ID and other voting information,” said Dell Parker, elections director. ” The seminars are free and open to everyone.”
