No. Voter registration is subject to state law and states do not accept municipal IDs.
Sure, but I bet you walk out into the friendly arms of the law.

From the questions reference to an "foid" card I will assume it is being asked about the state of Illinois. You are not required by any federal law to have an identification card in order to possess a firearm, but the state CAN require such an ID card if you wish to carry it.
No, the Motor Voter Law, officially known as the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), was passed in 1993. It aimed to increase voter registration, particularly at the state level, by allowing individuals to register to vote when applying for or renewing a driver's license or certain social services. The law was designed to enhance voter participation in elections.
Texans who could not produce acceptable IDs, such as a state issued drivers license or ID card, were denied the right to vote. This was in accordance with the Voter ID law.
If you are within the municipality that issued the ID card, then the municipal ID may be required to accept the ID unless prohibited by state law. Outside the municipality that issued the card, your chances are very slim.

The Motor Voter Law, formally known as the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, includes three key provisions: first, it requires states to offer voter registration opportunities at the same time individuals apply for or renew their driver's licenses or state ID cards. Second, it mandates that states provide voter registration forms in public agencies and during mail-in registration processes. Lastly, it establishes guidelines to ensure that voter registration systems are accessible, secure, and efficient, promoting broader voter participation.
In the US it is not required for a green card holder to possess their passport, but they MUST possess their green card AND valid identification at all times. Frankly, since they are citizens of a foreign nation it would probably be advisable for them to carry it though.
