More than eight in 10 registered voters support requiring photo identification to vote, according to a Napolitan News Service survey that found broad public backing for several election integrity measures.
The poll found that 82% of voters support photo ID requirements at the ballot. Support included 94% of Republicans and 70% of Democrats.
The survey also found strong support for other voting rules. According to the poll, 79% of voters said mail-in ballots should be received by Election Day.
Another 92% said election officials should remove from voter registration lists people who have died or moved.
The poll found that 79% of voters believe all mail-in ballots should be received by Election Day.
Among the four election requirements tested in the survey, 55% of voters said requiring photo identification would do the most to restore trust in elections.
The findings come as voter ID laws and mail-in ballot deadlines remain major points of debate in state legislatures and in Congress. Supporters of stricter requirements argue that photo ID, updated voter rolls and firm ballot deadlines are needed to strengthen confidence in elections. Opponents have argued that some voting restrictions can make it more difficult for eligible voters to cast ballots.
The Napolitan News Service survey included 1,000 registered voters and was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen from March 25-26, 2026. RMG Research Inc. conducted the field work. The poll reported a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
