But when she tried, she was frustrated that she couldn\u2019t use her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/student\/?swcfpc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">student ID to vote<\/a> and by the constant questioning she received when she tried to use her out-of-state ID. Under\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/states\/arizona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arizona law<\/a>, voters are allowed to use an out-of-state ID at the polls as long as they also show an additional form of ID that lists the address on their voter registration \u2013 but poll workers still pushed back on the authenticity of her ID. After more than two years, she\u2019d had enough. There didn\u2019t seem to be a path forward. The process was confusing and overwhelming, so Rebecca turned to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/?swcfpc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VoteRiders<\/a>. At VoteRiders \u2013 the nation\u2019s leading voting rights organization focused on the issue of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/voterid\/?swcfpc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">voter ID<\/a> \u2013 we provide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/freehelp\/?swcfpc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free ID help<\/a> so that every eligible voter can cast a ballot that counts. When it comes to students like Rebecca, VoteRiders helps those who don\u2019t have an accepted form of ID to get any and all documents they need to vote. By empowering students with up-to-date information and free ID help, we\u2019re supporting new voters to cast a ballot with confidence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18571\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18571\" style=\"width: 268px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/960x0-268x300.webp\" alt=\"Young people are fighting back against voter ID restrictions\" width=\"268\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/960x0-268x300.webp 268w, https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/960x0-915x1024.webp 915w, https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/960x0-768x859.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/960x0.webp 959w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 268px) 100vw, 268px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18571\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rebecca enjoying Arizona&#8217;s great outdoors.

Many of the states that purport to accept student IDs actually severely restrict which student IDs they accept by adding additional onerous requirements such as requiring IDs to list students\u2019 addresses or have expiration dates, or states only accept IDs from certain schools. This variety in state laws regarding student IDs adds a powerful barrier and additional layer of complexity to the voting process for young people, given that they often lack alternative forms of identification beyond their student IDs.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18573\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18573\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18573\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/960x0-1-300x298.webp\" alt=\"Young people are fighting back against voter ID restrictions\" width=\"300\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/960x0-1-300x298.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/960x0-1-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/960x0-1-768x763.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/960x0-1.webp 959w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18573\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">VoteRiders content for Ohio Students. VOTERIDERS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Voter ID laws send a powerful and potentially discouraging message about whose voices politicians want to be heard at the polls. Take the case of Texas, where you can use your handgun license to vote, but not your student ID. Our Gen Z staffers in Texas recently spoke out about what they\u2019re seeing and how they\u2019re fighting back with boots on the ground in Houston.<\/p>\n<p>As an organization that works with voters year-round, we\u2019re always witnessing the harmful effects of ID laws on students. Beyond outright disenfranchisement, we\u2019re seeing the confusion that these constantly shifting requirements create. The impact of this confusion cannot be overstated when we\u2019re talking about students, most of whom are first-time voters and often require additional support to unpack complicated ID laws and make their voices heard. Take Georgia, where only students from public schools are allowed to use their student ID at the polls, blocking those who attend\u00a0<a class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2022-election\/hbcu-students-georgia-face-extra-obstacle-voting-rcna59442\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2022-election\/hbcu-students-georgia-face-extra-obstacle-voting-rcna59442\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2022-election\/hbcu-students-georgia-face-extra-obstacle-voting-rcna59442\" aria-label=\"seven out of ten historically black colleges in the state\">seven out of ten historically black colleges in the state<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of a high-stakes election in Ohio this fall, our team reported that\u00a0<a class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CxyGGiYMT_X\/?img_index=1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CxyGGiYMT_X\/?img_index=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CxyGGiYMT_X\/?img_index=1\" aria-label=\"rumors\">rumors<\/a> were flying.

Our teams across these states and more are working hard to combat this confusion and provide the free tools, resources, and knowledge for students to cast their ballots successfully and confidently \u2013 and to prepare for a lifetime of being a voter.Despite not having always done so, today\u2019s young people are showing up to vote in increasing numbers and asserting their power at the polls.\u00a0<a class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/11\/10\/1135810302\/turnout-among-young-voters-was-the-second-highest-for-a-midterm-in-past-30-years\" href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/11\/10\/1135810302\/turnout-among-young-voters-was-the-second-highest-for-a-midterm-in-past-30-years\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/11\/10\/1135810302\/turnout-among-young-voters-was-the-second-highest-for-a-midterm-in-past-30-years\" aria-label=\"Last year's midterm elections had the second highest turnout among voters under 30 in the past thirty years\">Last year&#8217;s midterm elections had the second highest turnout among voters under 30 in the past thirty years<\/a>.
