H.R.6936

Requires government photo identification and proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections.

The bill mandates that individuals provide government photo identification and proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. This applies to both in-person and mail-in voting. Acceptable forms of identification and citizenship proof include a U.S. passport, military record, birth certificate, or other documents. If an individual does not present the required identification, they may cast a provisional ballot, which will only count if verified as a U.S. citizen. The changes apply to federal elections starting in November 2026.
