What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill would require people to show documents proving they are U.S. citizens when they register to vote in federal elections, and to show photo identification when they vote. It lists specific types of documents that count as proof of citizenship, such as IDs that meet REAL ID standards and show U.S. citizenship. States would be required to set up programs to identify and remove non-citizens from their voter rolls, and to create an alternative process for people to prove their citizenship. The bill also allows people to take legal action over certain violations, sets criminal penalties for certain offenses, and requires anyone voting by absentee ballot to include a copy of their photo ID when requesting and returning their ballot.
