A voter ID law is a law that requires a person to have some form of identification to vote or receive a ballot for an election. In most jurisdictions, voters must present an ID, usually a photo ID. Because of perceptions of a differing ability to obtain identification on the basis of socioeconomic status, some people in the United States and Canada consider them controversial. ==Brazil== In Brazil voting is compulsory to all citizens between 18 and 70 years old.〔(Timothy J. Power: Compulsory for Whom? Mandatory Voting and Electoral Participation in Brazil, 1986–2006, in: Journal of Politics in Latin America. S. 97–122 )〕 To vote, all citizens must: * Be registered to vote * Report in person to the voting section〔(Zonas eleitorais ), 25 de janeiro de 2013 - 16h05 (in Portuguese)〕 * Present an official identity document with photo, usually the regular ID card (cédula de identidade) Since 2006 the Brazilian Electoral Justice is re-registering voters with biometric identification. In the 2014 elections more than 22 million voters out of 141 million〔(Biometria e urna eletrônica ), 21 de junho de 2013 - 18h31 (in Portuguese)〕 will be identified by fingerprints.〔(The Biometrical System in Brazil ), 27 de junho de 2013 - 18h29〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Voter ID laws」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
