(The Center Square) — New Hampshire lawmakers are moving to tighten that state’s voting laws by prohibiting high school or college students from using their student identification cards to vote in elections.

The Republican-backed proposal, which recently cleared the state House of Representatives on a 190-148 party-line vote, would eliminate a provision of state election law allowing voters to show a college identification card to receive a ballot. Instead, students would be required to present an ID issued by the federal government or an out-of-state driver’s license, ID card or U.S. passport.
