Citizenship, age and residency are the requirements for voting. All three proofs should be produced when you register for the first time. A National card should be issued which is good for life. Local residency laws etc will take care of the rest.

Of course, it will create a new forgery market.

A national ID will be ineffective and will meet with a huge amount of resistance from civil libertarians and conservatives. It will never pass.
