US EditionAppeals Court Upholds Texas Law Requiring IDs For Mail-in Ballots
TEXAS, UNITED STATES, AUG 5 – The Fifth Circuit ruled unanimously that Texas's voter ID law for mail-in ballots complies with federal law and aims to prevent election fraud, affirming states' discretion in election integrity.
- On August 4, 2025, a federal appellate panel upheld Texas' law mandating that mail-in voters provide a valid identification number on their ballots and related applications.
- This decision comes in the wake of Texas Senate Bill 1, passed in 2021, which aims to prevent fraud in mail-in voting by requiring voters to provide identification numbers on their applications and ballots.
- Judge James Ho wrote the unanimous nine-page opinion affirming the law’s compliance with federal law, stating the ID requirement is “plainly material” to voter qualification.
- Ho stated that prior rulings support siding with Texas, and President Trump described the decision as positive news for efforts to safeguard election integrity.
- The ruling permits Texas to enforce the ID mandate, which may influence other Republican-led states to adopt similar election safeguards ahead of upcoming elections.
