What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill requires people to show photo identification to vote in federal elections. If someone doesn't have photo ID, they can still vote using a provisional ballot, but they must show the required ID or sign a statement saying they can't be photographed for religious reasons within three days for their vote to count. People who vote by mail or other methods besides voting in person must include a copy of their photo ID or provide the last four digits of their Social Security number with a statement explaining they couldn't get photo ID despite trying. States must provide free photo ID to people who sign a statement saying they cannot afford to get one or cannot obtain one for other reasons.
