Ohio Republican lawmakers passed a major elections reform bill after midnight, on Thursday morning, mandating a photo ID requirement for voting and eliminating some early voting opportunities.

After about 17 hours of back-and-forth between the House and the Senate, lawmakers voted 55-32 to approve H.B. 458.

If signed by the governor, Ohioans would only be able to cast ballots if they have state identification cards issued by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV). Currently, voters can show military IDs, utility bills, bank statements or other documentation.
