据 Decision Desk HQ 预测,一项将投票照片身份证要求写入俄亥俄州宪法的投票提案预计将获通过。
A ballot measure that would enshrine photo identification requirements to vote in the Ohio Constitution is projected to pass, according to Decision Desk HQ.
这项被称为“第 3 号提案”的宪法修正案将要求选民出示政府签发的带照片身份证件才能投票。
The constitutional amendment, known as Issue 3, will require voters to show government-issued photo ID in order to cast a ballot.
DDHQ 报道称,在 87% 的选票完成统计时,66% 的选民支持第 3 号提案。
With 87 percent of ballots counted, 66 percent of voters approved of Issue 3, DDHQ reported.
可接受的政府签发带照片身份证件包括:“未过期的俄亥俄州驾照或州身份证;美国护照或护照卡;或美国军人身份证、俄亥俄州国民警卫队身份证、或美国退伍军人事务部身份证。”
Acceptable forms of government-issued photo ID include: “an unexpired Ohio driver license or state identification card; a United States passport or passport card; or a United States military identification card, Ohio National Guard identification card, or United States Department of Veterans Affairs identification card.”
该倡议还将要求投邮寄选票或缺席选票的人出示一种政府签发的带照片身份证件,“除非法律授权这些人通过提供签名和至少另一项指定的唯一标识符来投票。”该宪法修正案将允许选民寻求宗教豁免,如果他们因“宗教反对”而不愿被拍照且没有政府签发的带照片身份证件,允许州政府提供“另一种方法”来核实选民身份。
The initiative will also require those casting mail-in or absentee ballots to show a form of government-issued photo ID “unless the law authorizes those persons to vote by providing a signature and at least one other specified unique identifier.”The constitutional amendment will allow voters to seek a religious exception if they have a “religious objection” to being photographed and don’t have government-issued photo ID, allowing the state to provide “an alternative method” for verifying the voter’s identity.
俄亥俄州法律已经要求选民出示带照片身份证件才能投票;该投票提案将这些要求写入州宪法。
Ohio law already requires voters to show photo ID to cast a ballot; the ballot measure enshrines those requirements in the state constitution.
俄亥俄州法律还允许在投票站就签发带照片身份证件提供宗教豁免,改为要求选民签署宣誓书,声明因宗教原因没有带照片身份证件,并须提供其社会安全号码的最后四位数字。
Ohio law also allows for religious exemptions around issuing photo ID at the polls, instead requiring voters to sign an affidavit swearing that they don’t have a form of photo ID for religious reasons, and they must provide the last four numbers of their Social Security number.
Ballotpedia 指出,十多个州正在准备与选举政策相关的投票提案,其中六个州请选民就投票和公民权问题表决,六个州请选民就选民身份证问题表决。
Ballotpedia notes that more than a dozen states are teeing up ballot measures pertaining to election policy, including six states that are asking voters about voting and citizenship and six states asking about voter ID.
