Since the passage of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) in 2002, requiring
people to present identification to vote has become one of the most
controversial and divisive issues in election reform. HAVA necessitates,
among other things, that members of a small group of people—new voters
registering by mail—establish their identity in one of many ways.1 While
about half of the states in the country today apply just that requirement,
many states have used the HAVA identification provision to justify additional,
more stringent measures. At present, twenty-four states require all
voters to present identification when casting a ballot in person. Download the report (PDF).
