• Requires mail-in voters to include a photo ID copy, or the last four digits of their Social Security number with an affidavit that they cannot obtain ID, or a notary's attestation that they marked the ballot themselves.
• Directs states to provide free public access to copiers and scanners at government buildings for copying photo ID, and to notify voter registrants of the ID rule, including before they finish online registration.
