Question of the Day: Voter ID [Poll]

We ask Norwood Patch readers a different question every weekday at noon. Questions could range from local decisions made by officials, to state issues, to national politics and entertainment. Whatever it is, we want to know what NORWOOD thinks! To answer, use our comments section below.

A new law in Rhode Island is taking effect that will require voters to show identification when heading to the polls.

The new law will still allow people without the proper identification to cast provisional ballots, according to the Boston Globe. And, the state is required to offer voter identification cards to those who lack the proper identification.

With the law, Rhode Island is the 30th state to pass the law. Massachusetts does not have a similar law.

Should voters be required to show identification at the polls?
