## Summary

**Photo ID requirement for federal elections** would require voters to show a qualifying photo ID to cast ballots and pair that rule with a federal program to provide free IDs to people who cannot afford them. - Voters in person would need to present a valid photo ID to vote. If a voter lacks ID they would get a provisional ballot and could use a narrowly defined religious objection affidavit as an alternative. - Voters casting non‑in‑person ballots would have to include ID or an acceptable substitute. Allowed options include a copy of ID, the last four digits of a Social Security number plus a sworn statement that the person cannot obtain an ID, or a notarized statement that the ballot was personally marked. The bill also requires public access to devices to copy IDs at no cost and requires registration applicants to be notified about the ID rules, including an online notice. - Low‑income people and eligible Tribal governments would be able to get federal grants to provide free state driver licenses, state ID cards, or Tribal IDs when the recipient attests they cannot afford the fee. The provisions would take effect 90 days after enactment.
