The leaders of St. Paul and Minneapolis say the proposed voter photo-ID amendment will be an unfunded mandate for cities.
Mayors Chris Coleman and R.T. Rybak, both Democrats, will meet at 11 a.m. Monday, Aug. 20, to explain their view that the measure would cost cities.
Minnesotans will vote this fall on whether the state constitution should be amended to require voters to present valid photo identification in order to cast ballots, starting in 2013.
The Republican-led Legislature last session approved putting the constitutional measure to voters.
