HD 1487 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act requiring photo ID’s to vote

HD 1487 requires voters to present a current photo ID at polling places for all public elections. It directly affects voters who do not possess one of the specified acceptable IDs, including driver's licenses, government employee cards, military IDs, or student university ID cards. The bill mandates that election officials verify a voter's identity using one of these photo ID types before allowing them to cast a ballot. This policy change alters the voting process by adding a new identification requirement for all eligible voters participating in public elections.
