Voter ID
My new driver’s license indicates that it is NOT FOR FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION. May I use it as identification at the polling place?
Yes. You may continue to use your current driver’s license at the polling place when you vote. When you check-in to vote, in lieu of the driver’s license, you may also show a credit card with your name and signature, an ID with your name and photograph, or any document with your name and address such as a checkbook or a utility bill.
Does the photo ID need to have the address printed on it?
No. A photo ID does not need to have your address on it. e.g.- College Student ID, Employee ID or a U.S. Passport.
