Voter ID laws can create a unique barrier to voting for a substantial number of transgender people, which is particularly impactful in elections decided by a small number of votes.
Upwards of 210,000 transgender adults who are eligible to vote could face significant barriers due to a lack of proper identification, comprising nearly a fourth of the total trans population who are eligible to vote.
States with the strictest voter ID laws could disenfranchise 91,300 trans people by preventing them voting this year.
These concerns are especially exacerbated for trans people of color, low income trans people, and disabled trans folks who face institutional barriers or discriminatory laws making it difficult or impossible to update their IDs.
