Voter ID laws are laws that requires voters to show some form of identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, at the polls before they cast a vote. States without voter ID laws generally have ”nondocumentary” identification requirements under which voters can verify their identity in other ways, such as by signing an affidavit or poll book, or by providing personal information like their address or birth date.
