MONTGOMERY, Alabama --- The Alabama Secretary of State's office is hitting the road again starting next week with a mobile unit to provide free photo voter IDs.

The cards are for voters who don't have a driver license or other form of photo ID needed to vote under the state's photo voter ID law, which was in effect for the first time in the June 3 primary.

In a news release, Secretary of State Jim Bennett announced a schedule of visits by the mobile unit from July 22 to Oct. 8.

The unit will be on the road a total of 18 days. It made 93 stops before the June 3 primary.

"Some counties recommended that we return to a few more areas and serve the voters there," Bennett said in the news release.

Voters can also get the free photo IDs at their county Board of Registrars office or the Secretary of State's office.

Almost 3,000 free photo voter IDs have been issued, Bennett said.

Next week, the mobile unit will be in Franklin, Lawrence and Colbert counties.
