AUGUSTA — Now that Maine voters have made clear their support for same-day voter registration, the focus shifts to another hot election-related proposal that will come up during the 2012 legislative session: voter ID.

The bill requiring voters to show photo identification in order to cast ballots comes up after voters rejected by a 3-2 margin Tuesday another move to tighten the state's election laws.

That vote repealed a law requiring voters to register at least two days before an election. In doing so, voters reinstated Maine's long-standing same-day registration policy.

"Legislators should move very cautiously in erecting any new barriers given this overwhelming vote," said Shenna Bellows, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine. Tuesday's tally "absolutely indicates that voters resent barriers to our constitutional voting right," she added.
