My list was taken from the Indiana website ...

I fail to see the difference, but I’ll try it again, this time with quotation marks.

ACCEPTABLE PHOTO ID

“Public Law 109-2005 requires Indiana residents to present a government-issued photo ID before casting a ballot at the polls on Election Day.

Your photo ID must meet 4 criteria to be acceptable for voting purposes. It Must:

1. Display your photo

2. Display your name, and the name must conform to your voter registration record. Conform does not mean identical. Below are examples of names that would conform to “Robert John Crew” (examples deleted)

3. Display an expiration date and either be current or have expired sometime after the date of the last General Election (November 7, 2006)

* Including Military IDs with expiration does of “INDEF”

4. Be issued by the State of Indiana or the U.S. government”

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ID THAT MEETS THESE REQUIREMENTS, YOU CAN GET GOVERNMENT-ISSUED ID.

“If you are applying for a new driver license, identification card, learner permit, or driver education permit you must visit a license branch and present the following documents:

* One primary document; and * One secondary document; and * Proof of Social Security number or Social Security ineligibility; and * Proof of Indiana residency.

OR

* One primary document; and * Proof of Social Security number or Social Security ineligibility; and * Proof of Indiana residency.

A primary or secondary document may also meet the Indiana residency requirement as long as the document shows the applicant’s name and correct address.”
