One of the many laws that took effect Sunday includes a measure that authorizes the Secretary of State to audit voter registration lists and other changes.
The wide-ranging House Bill 1878 allows no-excuse absentee voting for two weeks leading up to election day. It also requires voters to show a government-issued ID before voting, although a voter can cast a provisional ballot.
Republican Senator Tony Luetkemeyer of Parkville is a supporter of the changes.
