This doesn't prove citizenship. But I think this is polling place identification. You would have had to prove citizenship when you registered to vote.

The voting identification is relatively new to my area. It does away with the long established philosophy of vote early and vote often.

Voter registration laws vary by state but I looked up the requirements for my state and you don't have to provide any documents to prove citizenship. Just something that shows where you reside.

But you are signing under penalty of perjury that you are a citizen. So if your not and you get caught you could go to jail.

Doesn't sound like a very good system.
