Indiana's Photo ID law requires Hoosiers to show government-issued photo identification before casting a ballot at the polls on Election Day. Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita advocated for the measure, which was passed by the Indiana General Assembly in 2005. The law targets identity theft at the polls and is aimed at improving voter confidence in the electoral process.
"This decision is a victory for Hoosier voters, and for election reform across the country," Rokita said. "The seventh circuit affirmed what we have seen from four successful elections in Indiana under the Photo ID law -- this is a common-sense way to protect honest voters and to improve voter confidence."
