enforce the ID requirement. The other 18 states and the District of Columbia have a range of
nondocument requirements instead.
Over the last two decades, the number of states requiring voter IDs has tripled. The stringency of
those requirements is controversial. States vary substantially in the range of IDs accepted, the

states requiring voter ID accept a local driver’s license, no two states have the same overall
