Make Sure You Have the Proper ID on Election Day!

As Americans prepare to go to the polls, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund and the NAACP are distributing palm cards in five states--Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, and Missouri--to educate citizens about new voting procedures. During the last year, debate has ensued in each of these five states about the proper identification documents voters need to vote.

The palm cards are meant to inform voters of the correct documents they need to vote and what to do if they are challenged by poll workers.

Please feel free to download, print, and distribute as many of the palm cards as you like. For more information on what documents you need to vote in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri and other states, please visit www.vote411.org.  You can also call the Election Protection hotline at 866-Our-Vote or 888-Ve-Y-Vota, a voter information hotline run by NALEO and NCLR.
