Identification Requirements
If you are voting at your polling place for the first time, you must present your voter ID card or a form of photo identification such as a driver's license, student ID, passport, or other government issued ID. Other acceptable forms of identification include a current utility bill, bank statement or paycheck. If you do not have an acceptable form of ID you will still be allowed to vote by provisional ballot.
Provisional Ballots
If your name isn't on the list of registered voters at your polling place, if you don't have required ID, or if for some other reason your voter registration is in question, you still have the right to vote by provisional ballot. These provisional ballots will reviewed after the polls close and, if it is determined that you were eligible to vote, your ballot will be counted. If you aren't offered the right to vote by provisional ballot, just ask.
