McKenney says VoteRiders is on a dedicated mission to ensure North Carolinians comply with the new voter ID law, which requires voters to present a valid ID at the polls.<\/p>\n<p>And she\u2019s spending much time telling them about an alternative. McKenney says you can go to the county elections office to provide your name, date of birth, and the last four digits\u00a0of your social security\u00a0number and get a photo taken, which can be used as a valid ID at the polls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou do not have to produce any documents, so that is what makes it such an easy option, especially for voters who may have lost the documents the DMV may ask for, like a social security card or birth certificate,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>But if you\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsbe.gov\/voting\/voter-id\/get-free-voter-photo-id\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">still want to get a state-issued ID<\/a>, VoterRiders helps voters obtain birth certificates, social security cards, and state IDs.
