Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft will make a stop this Friday, June 9, at 10 a.m. at the Wil Heiliger Activity Building at Diekroeger Park, 13410 Veterans Memorial Parkway in Wright City.The visit is part of his ShowIt2Vote educational campaign.“We heard the voice of Missourians loud and clear in November and have worked diligently to implement photo voter ID,” Ashcroft said “If you’re a registered voter, you can vote. It’s important that we protect the integrity of our elections by ensuring that every voter has the right opportunity to vote and that every vote counts.”State Rep. Bryan Spencer, R-Wentzville, encourages constituents to attend the meeting.“Voters overwhelmingly supported the new requirements to ensure the integrity of the elections process, and our secretary of state is now working diligently to ensure everyone understands the new rules and requirements,” he said. “I encourage all voters to take advantage of this opportunity to learn about the new Voter ID law.”In November 2016, Missourians passed Constitutional Amendment 6 to approve photo voter ID and, this year, the Secretary of State’s Office has and will continue to work closely with local election authorities and poll workers statewide to effectively implement the new law.If a voter does not have a government-issued photo ID, such as a Missouri driver license, nondriver license, U.S. passport, or U.S. Military ID, the voter can provide other documents, such as a Voter Registration Card, and sign a statement that affirms his or her identity.If the voter has no documents available, he or she may cast a provisional ballot. That ballot counts if the voter brings an acceptable photo ID back to the polling place that day, or if the signature matches the signature on file with local election officials.The ShowIt2Vote campaign is meant to ensure that all eligible voters know the various ways they are allowed to cast a ballot after the law went into effect June 1.For more information, Missourians can also access ShowIt2Vote.com and the ShowIt2Vote Help Line at 866-868-3245.Vote
