Voter ID Act
To amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require the provision of identification as a condition of casting a ballot in an election for Federal office, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9368, proposes to change the Help America Vote Act of 2002 by making it a requirement for voters to show identification when casting a ballot in federal elections. The bill was introduced on June 18, 2026, and has since been referred to the House Committee on House Administration, where it was marked up and reported on July 15, 2026.
This change would affect all U.S. citizens who vote in federal elections, ensuring that their vote is verified. The bill's supporters argue that it will help prevent voter fraud, while opponents believe it could make it harder for some people to vote, particularly those who may not have the necessary ID.
Currently, the bill is on the Union Calendar, meaning it is awaiting further action in the House. Key steps so far include committee consideration, a mark-up session, and a vote to report the bill with amendments. The next steps will involve further debate and possible votes on the House floor.
