Thanks. In AZ, when you are issued an ID, it's good until you are 65. We also have provisional ballots.

So I looked up AL: https://www.dmv.org/al-alabama/id-cards.php (and got SEO'd)

4 years. And it's expensive. Bad. Seems like it's a reason for federal innovation at least on the fee and access side. ID's are difficult to copy, I haven't heard an arg to make them expire in such a short window.

That said, I would rather fix that problem than not have voter ID, some courts appear to agree it's a problem as you mentioned and have rightly intervened.
