Donald Trump is pointing to India’s massive 2024 election as an example while pushing for tougher voting rules in the United States. Trump highlighted India’s approximately 646 million votes, mandatory photo identification for in-person voting, and postal ballots accounting for less than one percent of votes. He is using those figures to support his call for the SAVE America Act, which would introduce nationwide photo ID requirements and documentary proof of citizenship for federal voter registration. But India’s election system is more complex than the comparison suggests, with voters required to be on the electoral roll and able to use multiple accepted forms of photo identification. As the debate over voter ID, mail-in voting and election security intensifies in Washington, Trump’s comparison with India is becoming a major political talking point.
