American Confidence in Elections: District of Columbia Photographic Poll Books Act
This bill requires the District of Columbia to include photographs of voters in election poll books for all DC elections (including federal races and ballot initiatives). It mandates that DC government offices provide existing voter photos to election officials, polling places take photos for in-person voters without them, and mail-in voters submit ID photos. Strict privacy rules prohibit using these photos for any purpose beyond election administration. The law directly affects DC voters and election officials by changing how voter identity is verified at polling locations.
