A group of elderly nuns visited a mobile Bureau of Motor Vehicles branch in South Bend to get photo identification required to vote.
In the May primary, about a dozen Roman Catholic nuns from Saint Mary's Convent were turned away from a polling place because they didn't have required photo ID.
A mobile license branch visited Saint Mary's College Friday, and several Sisters of the Holy Cross got new or updated state ID cards. Most of the elderly nuns use walkers or canes, so the mobile BMV trailer was more convenient for them than traveling to a license branch.
Sister Francis Helene Fox got a state ID card because her driver's license expired in July. The 83-year-old says she's never missed voting and she didn't want to miss the vote this year.
