To ensure only citizens are registered to vote in elections for Federal office, and to require voters to provide photo identification, and for other purposes.

This legislation aims to tighten requirements for participating in federal elections by mandating that only United States citizens are registered to vote. To verify eligibility and identity, the bill would require all individuals to provide government-issued photo identification when registering or casting a ballot in federal contests. Proponents argue these measures are necessary to bolster the integrity of the electoral process and prevent potential fraud. Conversely, critics express concern that the new requirements could create significant barriers for eligible voters who lack specific forms of identification, potentially leading to lower turnout among marginalized groups. If enacted, this bill would standardize voting procedures nationwide, necessitating updates to Virginia’s existing voter registration protocols and identification verification systems for federal election cycles.
