The bill, called the Safe Voter Identification Law, seeks to add a photo ID requirement for federal elections.
India’s election process uses a photo card for all voters, with very few voting by mail.
Opponents say the requirement may create barriers for eligible voters without ready documents.
The proposal is under debate in the United States Congress.
They point to India’s election system, where every voter uses a photo card, as an example of strict identification.
Critics argue that such requirements could disenfranchise citizens who lack easy access to the necessary documents.
The bill is still being discussed in Congress and has not become law.
