What is it?
Prop 39 is a proposition that wishes to require government-issued ID for in-person and mail-in voting. For mail-in voting, the last four digits of a government-issued ID must be written on the outside of the ballot.
Argument ForĀ
Requiring government-issued ID for voting will ensure that all voters are actual California citizens who should be voting. This will ensure the legitimacy of California elections and results.
Argument Against
This prop would put unnecessary restrictions on elections and make it more difficult for people to vote. Mail voters will be apprehensive about writing their information on the outside of the ballot.
