Californians are expected to be asked on their Nov. 3 ballots whether or not they want voter ID to be required in future elections.
A coalition called Californians for Voter ID has gathered more than 1.3 million signatures in a proposed statewide ballot initiative calling for voter ID. At a March 2 press conference, California Republican leaders and volunteers delivered more than a dozen boxes of signed petitions at the Riverside County Registrar of Voters in Riverside, California.
