HR 4488 United States House · 118th Congress

American Confidence in Elections: District of Columbia Voter Identification Act

This bill requires voters in Washington, D.C., to present photo identification to vote in person or submit a copy with absentee applications, and to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote. Acceptable ID includes DC driver's licenses, passports, military IDs, tribal IDs, student IDs from schools, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. The bill mandates free ID issuance for low-income voters, accommodates religious objections with alternative IDs, and requires election officials to include voter photos in poll books while protecting privacy. It applies to all D.C. elections, including local, federal, and ballot initiatives, and modifies the Help America Vote Act to implement these changes.
