ROUGHLY 385,000 college students in Pennsylvania whose university-issued IDs would not have enabled them to vote under the new voter-ID law are being offered new cards with expiration dates, or expiration stickers to make the current cards eligible, according to the Pennsylvania Public Interest Research Group, a consumer-protection group.
For an April survey, the organization found that 91 percent of the state's colleges and universities did not provide students with identification cards that would allow them to vote. Temple, Drexel, the University of the Arts, the Community College of Philadelphia and La Salle University now are offering students expiration stickers or new identification cards, according to PennPIRG.
