In New Hampshire, a deal has been reached over changes to a voter identification bill that recognizes New Hampshire student IDs during an election.
Lawmakers will vote next week whether to modify the photo ID law enacted by Republicans last session.
Under a compromise between the House and Senate, valid student identification will be allowed if the card is issued by a college or career school in New Hampshire or a New Hampshire high school. Student IDs can be expired but the expiration date must have been within five years.
The bill postpones for three years a different bill. That one requires voters without an acceptable ID to sign an affidavit and have their picture taken at the polls.
Moderators also can verify a person's identity or allow IDs not specified by law.
