The Supreme Court has agreed to review the Indiana Voter ID Law, which is the strictest in the nation. Updates as the case unfolds can be viewed on this page.

Amicus Curiae Briefs have been filed to decide "whether an Indiana statute mandating that those seeking to vote in-person produce a government-issued photo identification violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution."
