The state senate will be considering a bill to strengthen North Dakota’s voter ID law.

Under current law, you must show some form of ID.

If you don’t have one - you can sign a voter affidavit.

10,500 voters did just that in the November 2012 election.

The bill - which has passed the house - says you can no longer sign an affidavit, and you must have some form of ID.

Secretary of State Al Jaeger says it doesn’t have to be a photo ID - as long as the ID has the person’s name, address and date of birth.

Jaeger says the amount of voter fraud in North Dakota is very low - but he says there is a perception that problems could arise.

The bill also says the state will pay for a voter ID card, to be issued by the department of transportation to voters who do not have a driver’s license.
