Been using tofu litter, way less tracking to places that are far from the litterbox and the tracking that does happen are cute little sprinkles that are easily picked up.
When we vote in Canada we always had to show ID. There are also many combinations of ways to prove your identity. Drivers license, a bill, student card, you can bring a friend that knows you and they vouch etc.
Identification is good, just need to allow more ways to identify yourself.
