Key Messages on Voter ID

- Our democracy is strongest when everyone has a voice, regardless of zip code, income, race, or gender.
- Voter ID laws are part of a broad, well-funded, and deliberate effort to block millions of Americans from voting.
- Voter ID laws create unnecessary and expensive barriers to the voting booth, blocking millions of voters from participating in the democratic process.
Quicks Stats
- Over half of Americans living in states requiring photo ID to vote in-person do not know their state’s ID laws, and don’t realize that they will need this type of identification to vote.
- 34.5 million voting-age citizens, or 14.5% of eligible voters, don’t have a current government-issued photo ID with their name and address on it.
