Free alternative ID

The statute clearly establishes a free, state-issued photo ID (voter photo identification card) available by statute to all registered voters without charge. The procedure is enumerated: issuance by county boards of elections, available upon request, with no fee. This satisfies the criterion for a free alternative ID.

“The county board of elections shall, in accordance with this section, issue without charge voter photo identification cards upon request to registered voters.”

§ 206 explicitly codifies free state-issued ID: 'the Department of Transportation shall issue an identification card... at no cost to any registered elector who has made application therefor and has included with the completed application a statement signed by the elector declaring under oath or affirmation that the elector does not possess proof of identification.'

§ 101.048 provides provisional-ballot alternative for those without acceptable ID at the polls, partially addressing the free-alternative-ID criterion (no explicit free-ID issuance, but cost-free pathway to cast a vote).

“At all elections, a voter claiming to be properly registered in the state and eligible to vote at the precinct in the election but whose eligibility cannot be determined”

§ 21-2-418 codifies provisional-ballot procedure for voters without acceptable ID. § 21-2-417.1 codifies the free voter ID card — alternative ID available at no cost. Free-alternative-ID framework codified.

§ 12-4-37.1 codifies statewide voter registration file historical archive. § 12-4-10.1 codifies registration list availability. § 12-4-9 codifies master file public inspection (with PII redactions). SD's non-driver ID per § 12-18-6.1 is issued by SD DOT at low cost; voter-specific free ID lives in §§ 32-12 / 32-14-1.3 (separate title). Partial codification.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses judicial access to voter registration lists and cost allocation for probate judges, not voter identification requirements or alternative ID procedures. It contains no statutory language establishing, requiring, or providing free alternative ID for voters, and thus does not engage the criterion's subject matter.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section describes the procedure for reviewing and counting absentee ballots, including identification requirements for first-time mail registrants and in-person voters without identification. However, it does not address whether a free alternative state-issued ID is statutorily available to voters who lack government-issued identification. The section references identification requirements under AS 15.15.225 and AS 15.07.060 but does not establish or mandate the provision of a free alternative ID. The criterion requires statutory language creating a free state-issued ID program; this section merely enumerates rejection grounds and does not satisfy that requirement.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses procedures for compiling and publicizing electoral registers and providing public access to electoral information. It contains no requirement for government-issued ID as a condition of voting, and therefore does not engage with the criterion of whether a free alternative ID is available.

Best signal: This section addresses campaign finance reporting procedures and electronic filing systems for candidates and political committees.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 32 of the Electoral Reform Act 2022 concerns the allocation of broadcasting time and advertisements for referendum campaigns by the Electoral Commission. It does not address voter identification, alternative ID procedures, or any element of the identification criterion. This section is entirely outside the scope of ID requirements and procedures.

The statute requires identification for mail-in advance voting (K.S.A. 25-2908) but only provides free photocopying of an existing ID document, not a free state-issued alternative ID for those lacking identification entirely. The provision permits copying costs to be waived but does not establish a statutory pathway to obtain a free government-issued ID as an alternative to the required forms.

“For the purposes of this act, Kansas state offices and offices of any subdivision of the state will allow any person seeking to vote by an advance voting ballot the use of a photocopying device to make one photocopy of an identification document at no cost.”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 10 of Cap. 354 addresses the rights and access of party delegates to electoral information and the Electoral Commission's records.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 76C addresses identification in the context of provisional ballots, establishing that ID is requested but not required—failure to present ID does not prevent a provisional ballot from being cast. The criterion asks whether a free state-issued ID is available when ID is required. Since this statute explicitly does not require ID (it merely requests it), the premise of the criterion does not apply, and the statute does not address free alternative ID provision. The section provides a procedural waiver rather than a requirement-plus-alternative structure.

It specifies that a photocopy of a citizen card or identity document must be enclosed with the ballot, but does not establish whether government-issued ID is required to vote, nor does it provide for any free alternative ID system. The identification-related content is procedural (how to include ID with mail-in ballot) rather than substantive policy on ID requirements or alternatives.
