H 833 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act ensuring the election integrity through voter identification

This bill (HD 3562) changes Massachusetts voter identification rules for in-person voting. It requires election officers to ask voters to present one of four specific ID types: a Massachusetts voter registration card, social security card, MA driver's license, or government-issued photo ID. Voters who cannot show one of these acceptable forms of ID will no longer be allowed to vote, as the bill eliminates provisional voting for identification issues. The law directly affects voters at polling places who lack the required identification on election day.
