An Act To Require Photographic Identification For Voting

LD 1880 requires Maine voters to present a valid photo ID at polling places to cast a ballot. Voters without photo ID can cast a challenged ballot but must either complete a religious objection affidavit (if they have a religious objection to being photographed) or present photo ID within four days after the election. The bill also mandates the Secretary of State to provide free nondriver photo ID cards to eligible voters aged 18 or older who lack a driver's license. This bill directly affects all voters in Maine by modifying election procedures and expanding access to free identification options.
