Do I have to show identification at the precinct or One-Stop location before I can vote?

Beginning in September 2023, voters must show an acceptable photo ID when they check in at their voting site during early voting or on Election Day.  Election workers check to see if the picture on the ID reasonably resembles the voter.   The address on the photo ID does not have to match the voter registration records.

If the voter does not show an acceptable ID, the voter may proceed in one of the two following ways:

            1.   Vote with an ID Exception Form and a provisional ballot, or

            2.    Vote with a provisional ballot and return to their county board of elections office with their photo ID by the day before county canvass.
