Washington (CNN) A group of Republican state lawmakers in Nebraska are pushing a new bill that would require people to present a photo ID when they vote.

The measure , introduced Friday by state Sen. Andrew La Grone, is a proposed state constitutional amendment that would require a poll worker to "review a photograph or digital image of each voter to verify the identity of the voter prior to allowing the voter to vote."

The bill doesn't state exactly how this review would happen, leaving out details like who would be exempt and the types of identification that would be required.

In a statement to the Omaha World-Herald , La Grone said he offered the proposal because he believes that Nebraskans overwhelmingly back voter ID requirements.

"I think it's an important issue that the people of Nebraska want the Legislature to take seriously," he told the outlet. "They deserve to have a say."
