The Institute for Legislative Analysis (ILA) supports the Voter ID Act (H.R. 9368; Rep. Bryan Steil, R-WI) as verifying an individual’s identity when voting is a critical aspect of ensuring free and fair elections. As introduced, this legislation requires voters in federal elections to present valid photo identification to verify their identity before casting a ballot. It establishes procedures for voters casting provisional or mail-in ballots when identification requirements are not immediately met and provides limited exceptions as specified in the legislation. ILA commends Congressman Bryan Steil for introducing this important legislation and championing policies that maintain strong safeguards against voter fraud.
