Voter ID Act requires voters to present photo identification to cast a ballot in federal elections.
The Voter ID Act amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require voters to present a valid photo identification to cast a ballot in federal elections. Acceptable forms of identification include a State-issued driver's license, State-issued identification card, U.S. passport, military identification, or a Tribal government-issued identification. Voters who do not present the required identification can cast a provisional ballot, but must provide the identification within three days to be counted.
