Require all registered voters to produce a photo ID to vote in all public office elections
HB 3027, introduced in West Virginia's 2025 legislative session, would require all registered voters to present a photo ID at polling places for public office elections. The bill specifies acceptable IDs like driver's licenses, passports, military IDs, or student IDs with photos, and lists 18 additional documents (e.g., Medicare cards, utility bills) that may be used as alternatives if they contain the voter's name. Voters without an acceptable ID could use an affidavit signed by an adult who knows them for six months and presents their own ID. This bill directly affects all registered voters in West Virginia elections and is currently pending referral to the House Judiciary Committee.
