A new survey from Pew Research Center shows broad national support for voter identification requirements. According to the findings, 83% of Americans favor requiring ID to vote, including 95% of Republicans and 71% of Democrats—numbers that suggest bipartisan backing for the policy.

Supporters say the results point to a growing consensus around strengthening election procedures and maintaining confidence in the voting process. They argue that voter ID laws are a straightforward way to promote secure and transparent elections. The issue has long been championed by Donald Trump, who has consistently called for stricter election safeguards.

At the same time, debate continues over how such laws are implemented, with critics raising concerns about access and ensuring that eligible voters are not unintentionally burdened.

Still, the polling indicates that voter ID remains one of the few election-related issues drawing significant support across party lines
