A new Pew Research Center survey indicates that a solid majority of Americans continue to endorse several measures aimed at making voting more accessible, even as opinions diverge sharply along party lines over mail-in ballots. Conducted Aug. 4–10 among 3,554 adults, the poll found that 58% favor allowing any voter to cast a ballot by mail, with support reaching 83% among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents but falling to 32% among Republicans and Republican leaners. Broad bipartisan consensus exists on other election procedures. Roughly four-in-five respondents back requiring electronic voting machines to provide paper backups (84%), mandating government-issued photo identification at the polls (83%), and offering at least two weeks of early in-person voting (80%). Three-quarters support making Election Day a federal holiday, while 66% favor restoring voting rights to felons who have completed their sentences. Proposals to ban large-scale ballot collection and to remove infrequent voters from registration rolls draw more opposition than support, underscoring continuing debate over election security versus ballot access. The findings arrive as President Donald Trump reiterates plans to curtail mail voting ahead of the 2026 midterms, highlighting the growing partisan divide on how Americans believe elections should be run.
