    Where I live having a driver’s license means it’s easier to vote. Sure it’s possible to vote without one, but I have to show a Photo ID and prove my address, and a driver’s license is the only form of ID with both a photo and address on it.

      Assuming you’re in the US, most states also offer ID cards that can be used for all the same things a driver’s license are for, except for driving. Confusingly they’re usually handled through the DMV, since they have all the infrastructure to verify your identity and issue cards.

        Can confirm. I don’t drive. Don’t habe a driver license. I still habe a card that look a lot like one, has an ID number, and is used exactly the same for everything except driving.
