Photo ID now required in all levels of Saskatchewan

Nov 30, 2010 | 8:08 PM

Photo identification will be required to vote in all levels of Saskatchewan elections now, including municipal.

The government has introduced changes similar to that already in place in Ontario and B.C.

Minister Darryl Hickie doesn't think the changes will put too much of a burden on municipalities given that it has been discussed with many groups.

“SUMA, SARM, the big city mayor's caucus, urban and rural administrators,” he said.

It was the larger centres that requested the change. It was announced in the Throne Speech, but until now it was thought it was optional for municipalities.

There is some flexibility — if a voter doesn't have photo identificationi, two pieces of ID with confirmation of name and address will be good enough.
