Rep. Nick Boldyga proposes creating voter photo ID requirements; opponents see it as voter suppression Updated 1:30 PM; Facebook Share A state representative has proposed legislation requiring would-be voters to show a driver’s license, an armed services ID card or certain student IDs before receiving a ballot. The proposal surfaced as one of 1,157 amendments to the House’s $47.6 billion budget for fiscal 2022. Alongside his amendments to fund improvements to Robinson State Park in Agawam and limit the governor’s emergency powers, Rep. Nick Boldyga filed a proposal to require a photo ID for voting and implement an appeal process for voters who don’t have a valid ID, similar to a New Hampshire voter ID law.
