Voters would need to prove U.S. citizenship to register and show photo ID to cast ballots in federal elections.

This bill would require everyone registering to vote in federal elections to show proof they are a U.S. citizen. It would also make all voters show a valid photo ID when they cast their ballot, whether in person or by mail. These changes would affect how Americans register and vote.

What Would Change

Today, there isn't a universal requirement for documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections, nor is there a nationwide mandate for photo identification to cast a ballot. If this bill becomes law, all applicants would need to provide specific documents proving citizenship to register, and all voters would need to show a valid photo ID to vote in federal elections.

Key Provisions

Requires all federal voter registration applicants to provide specific documents proving U.S. citizenship.
Prohibits states from processing voter registration applications for federal elections without documentary proof of U.S. citizenship.
Requires state motor vehicle departments and voter registration agencies to verify citizenship and collect proof before registering voters.
Mandates that individuals voting in person in federal elections show a valid physical photo ID to receive a ballot.
Requires individuals voting by mail in federal elections to submit a copy of a valid photo ID or an affidavit with their Social Security number.
Requires states to regularly compare voter lists with Department of Homeland Security records to identify and remove non-citizens.
