including registering to vote, an individual's unexpired tribal
identification document issued by an Indian tribe (including a tribal
identification document issued by a Native Corporation, as defined in
section 3 of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 1602))
shall be treated as a valid form of identification for such purposes.
''(d)(1)(A) The Attorney General may institute in the name of the
United States actions, including actions against States or political
subdivisions, for declaratory judgment or injunctive relief if the
Attorney General finds, at the discretion of the Attorney General, a
disparity between in-person voting opportunities for members of an
Indian tribe as compared to in-person voting opportunities for
individuals who are not members of an Indian tribe.
''(B) Such injunctive relief shall include measures to reduce such
disparity by increasing the availability of polling places.

jurisdiction of such actions which shall be heard and determined by a

the case to assign the case for hearing at the earliest practicable
