H.R. 10679 — America Votes Act of 2026

This section requires states with voter identification requirements for federal elections to permit individuals to meet the requirement by submitting a sworn written statement, signed under penalty of perjury, attesting to their identity and registration. States must provide pre-printed copies of the statement at polling places and with mail ballots, and may not require a provisional ballot from individuals using the statement. The requirements do not apply to first-time voters who registered by mail.

This section requires states that condition voting in federal elections on presenting identification to include in polling place voting information materials details on how an individual may satisfy the requirement by presenting a sworn written statement.
