It depends on where you are, and "why or why not" is "because your state has, or has not, passed a law requiring it."
In the US, 34 states are sensible and have some form of voter ID laws that require you to prove you are who you say you are before you can vote. Several others have legislation pending on the matter.
It should be noted that this is distinct from registering to vote, which does require you to prove your identity (though not necessarily your citizenship, which is a whole other kind of broken).

The requirement to show ID when voting varies by country and jurisdiction. In some places, identification is required to verify a person's eligibility to vote and prevent fraud. However, in other locations, no identification is necessary to ensure that voting remains accessible to all citizens. The specific rules and regulations surrounding ID requirements for voting depend on the laws of each individual country or state.
