Dragon Media News Desk

Voters in more than 20 states will face new rules for registering and casting ballots in this year’s U.S. midterm elections. Republican-led states have enacted laws that narrow the types of voter identification accepted, require proof of citizenship or restrict mail voting.

Supporters say the measures will strengthen election integrity. Civil rights groups warn that added requirements could prevent eligible voters from casting ballots. Some of the rules are facing legal challenges. Election officials have urged voters to check the requirements in their states.
