Can a voter’s eligibility be challenged based upon their appearance?

No. A voter’s eligibility can only be challenged if a challenger has good cause to believe that they are (1) not registered to vote; (2) less than 18 years old on Election Day; (3) not a United States citizen; or (4) has not lived in the city or township where they are attempting to vote for more than 30 days prior to the election. Questioning a person’s ability to vote based upon their appearance, whether it be that they look young or from a different country, is an insufficient basis to raise a challenge to their eligibility.
