As of July 2016, 33 states enforced voter identification requirements. A total of 19 states required voters to present photo identification, while 14 accepted other forms of identification. In some states, a voter who is unable to present valid identification may still be permitted to vote without casting a provisional ballot; this is known as a non-strict requirement. In nine of the 19 states that require a photo ID, the requirement is non-strict. In 12 of the 14 states that require non-photo identification, the requirement is non-strict. In the remaining states, voters without valid forms of identification are required to cast provisional ballots; this is known as a strict requirement. Valid forms of identification differ by state. Commonly accepted forms of ID include driver's licenses, state-issued identification cards, and military identification cards.[1][2]
