___ Act
HR 6936 would require voters to present both government-issued photo identification (like a driver's license) and proof of U.S. citizenship (such as a passport, birth certificate, or military record) to vote in federal elections, including for president and Congress. This applies to all voters casting ballots in person or by mail for federal offices, with provisional ballots allowed if documentation is missing but only counted if citizenship is verified. Acceptable citizenship proofs include certified birth certificates, military records, or naturalization documents. The requirement would take effect for the 2026 general election and all subsequent federal elections.
