This bill would change federal election rules. Starting in 2027, voters would have to show a photo ID to get a ballot in person, and mail voters would have to include a copy of a photo ID or the last four digits of their Social Security number with a signed statement, with some exceptions. People registering to vote in federal elections would have to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship. States would have to check their voter lists at least every 30 days, using federal data such as the Homeland Security SAVE system, and remove ineligible voters. The bill's table of contents also lists sections on paper ballots, ranked choice voting, mail-in ballots, and election records.
