The vast majority of Americans support imposing election security measures such as requiring photo identification and proof of citizenship at polling places before ballots are cast.

Gallup released data based on a survey conducted earlier this month showing that 84% of respondents favor “requiring all voters to provide photo identification at their voting place in order to vote.” Substantial majorities support other election security efforts: some 83% also favor “requiring people who are registering to vote for the first time to provide proof of citizenship.”

The analytics company noted that Republicans “nearly unanimously back” laws mandating proof of citizenship and photo identification, yet other Americans are also likely to support the policies.

The data likewise revealed that even as 96% of Republicans support photo identification, some 67% of Democrats also support the policy, a viewpoint shared by 84% of independents. The three political blocs displayed similar rates of support for providing proof of citizenship.

Republican lawmakers have become increasingly concerned about illegal aliens fraudulently participating in elections, especially amid rampant illegal immigration in recent years.

Ohio Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose recently announced that he identified hundreds of noncitizens who have registered to vote in the state and have even in some cases cast ballots. House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, likewise released an analysis showing “there is irrefutable evidence that noncitizens have been illegally registering to vote and have illegally voted,” contending that the phenomenon has had a “notable impact” on the electoral process and will likely worsen as elevated illegal immigration continues.

The data from Gallup also showed that lesser majorities of respondents support policies such as early voting, automatic voter registration, and sending absentee ballots to all eligible voters.
