An Act ensuring the election integrity through voter identification

This bill requires voters in Massachusetts to present specific forms of identification at polling places in order to cast a ballot. Eligible IDs include a voter registration card, social security card, valid driver's license, government-issued ID, or a photo employee ID. If a voter cannot provide one of these documents, they will be denied the opportunity to vote. The law directly impacts all registered voters by adding a mandatory identification step to the voting process.
