In recent years, state legislatures across the country have implemented voter identification laws. These laws require voters to present some form of identification at the polls. In some cases, the required identification must include a photo.

HIGHLIGHTS
  • As of April 2020, 34 states enforced (or were scheduled to begin enforcing) voter identification requirements. A total of 18 states required voters to present photo identification; the remainder accepted other forms of identification.
  • Commonly accepted forms of ID include driver's licenses, state-issued identification cards, and military identification cards.

    • Voter ID in 2020

    The table below details voter ID requirement in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the five permanently inhabited U.S. territories for the November 3, 2020, general election.

    How to use this interactive table: The table comprises six columns:

    • State
    • Election date
    • All voters required to show ID ("Yes" indicates that all voters must present ID at the polls)
    • Select voters required to show ID (an entry in this field describes which voters are required to show ID at the polls if there is no universal ID requirement)
    • Accepted IDs (a list of acceptable forms of ID)
    • Source (a link to a state website describing voter ID requirements)

    Each of the six columns can be sorted alphabetically or chronologically. To sort a column, click the column heading. To search for a state, enter the state name in the search bar above the upper right-hand corner of the table.

    By default, the table displays 10 states at a time. To see additional states on subsequent pages, use the navigation prompts under the bottom right-hand corner of the table. To change the number of states displayed on a single page, use the drop-down menu above the upper left-hand corner of the table.

    Details by state

    For detailed information on each state's voter ID laws, click the links below.


    In the map below, states that require registered voters to present identification at the polls on Election Day or that require poll workers to request identification from a voter are classified as states requiring identification. Some of these states provide for exceptions to these requirements. See the table below the map for more details. Follow the links provided for additional information about voter identification in each state.

    Several states that do not require identification generally require first-time voters to present identification at the polls. The federal Help America Vote Act requires that individuals in all 50 states who register to vote by mail and who have not voted previously in a federal election in their state must provide either their driver's license or a paycheck, bank statement, current utility bill, or government document showing their name and address. Individuals voting by mail must include a copy of one of those documents with their absentee/mail-in ballot.[1]

    These requirements do not apply if an individual submitted a copy of their identification, their driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number when registering to vote.

    Many states that require identification allow voters to cast provisional ballots if they do not have the required identification. Hover over each state in the map below for more details.

    Support and opposition

    The following quotes briefly summarize arguments for and against voter ID laws. See our page, Arguments for and against voter identification laws, for detailed support and opposition arguments from a variety of sources.


    Arguments for and against voter identification laws
    SupportOpposition
    "Voter ID laws can stop multiple types of fraud, such as impersonating another registered voter, preventing noncitizens from voting, and stopping out-of-state residents or someone registered in multiple jurisdictions. ... That’s one reason why voters across all demographics support voter ID laws in virtually every poll by almost 80%. This typically includes more than 60% of Democrats ... according to a poll conducted by the Honest Elections Project."[63]

    - Fred Lucas, The Heritage Foundation (2023)
    		"Overly burdensome photo ID laws deprive many voters of their right to vote, reduce participation, and stand in direct opposition to our country’s trend of including more Americans in the democratic process. Many Americans do not have one of the forms of government-issued photo identification that state laws list as acceptable for voting. These voters are disproportionately low-income, racial and ethnic minorities, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Such voters more frequently cannot afford or cannot obtain the underlying documents that are a prerequisite to obtaining government-issued photo ID card."[64]
