Ca Drivers License Hole Punched
UPDATED Tuesday, March 1, 2016-3:55 p.m. MADISON, Wis. (AP) - The state elections board has banned people from using hole-punched identification to register to vote. The Division of Motor Vehicles punches holes through the expiration dates of old driver's licenses and state ID cards upon renewal or replacement but allows people to keep the punched cards. The Government Accountability Board adopted a staff recommendation Tuesday to bar people from using driver's licenses and ID cards with the expiration dates punched out as proof of residency when registering to vote because it's no longer clear the ID is current. Hole-punched IDs that still have a visible expiration date after the most recent general election count as valid photo identification at the polls.
In short, as far as the police are concerned, it is not a valid Driver License if it is hole-punched. A Non-Driver’s ID card would fall under the same rule. I am going to add this matter to the list of questions that need to be sent to the Tennessee Attorney General for an Official Opinion.

(AP) - Wisconsin's elections board is set to consider whether to ban hole-punched identification as proof of residency. Wisconsin law requires voters to present state-issued photo identification to vote. The identification is good for voting for up to two years after it expires. However, the Division of Motor Vehicles punches holes through the expiration dates of old driver's licenses or IDs upon renewal or replacement and allows people to keep the punched card.
Government Accountability Board staff have recommended the board declare old cards with the expiration date punched out invalid as proof of residency to register to vote since it's no longer clear the ID is current. Hole-punched IDs that still have a visible expiration date after the most recent general election would be valid as photo identification at the polls. The GAB is expected to consider the recommendation Tuesday. Copyright 2016: Associated Press.
