12. There is a "FAQ" on this somewhere

Try google searching.

Anyway, its only an issue if you mail in your vote. If you vote in person, the person verifies its really you right there. That's what the guidance says anyway.

When I renewed mine, it actually offered to fix your voter registration right then. I didn't realize that there was now an issue and skipped that part.

I hope you are up on what you need to do. Your old DI# is associated with many things you may not realize and they need to be updated now(bank accounts, other licenses, etc..)

FWIW, everyone is upset over this. It makes no sense to change your ID# and the reason for this made no sense("security&quot . Every other person in line in front of me was like "Seriously? I've had this number of 30 years...."
