HB 480 Alabama House · 2025 Regular Session

Driver licenses; use of foreign national driver licenses as photo identification for voting prohibited

House Bill 480 prohibits the use of driver licenses issued to foreign nationals as valid photo identification for voting purposes in Alabama. Currently, the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency issues these licenses to non-U.S. citizens. This bill specifically adds a provision that these particular driver licenses may not be accepted when a voter is required to show photo identification at the polls. The change directly affects foreign nationals holding these licenses and impacts the types of identification accepted by election officials for voting purposes.
