ID Requirements for Voting

What identification you need to bring when you go to vote depends on whether you are on the Voters List.

If your name IS on the Voters List:

  • You must show one piece of identification that has your name on it. Your name as shown on the piece of identification must match your name on the Voters List.

If your name is NOT on the Voters List:

  • You must show one piece of identification that has your name and current residential address.

You can use an original identification document, a photocopy of an identification document, or an electronic copy displayed on a mobile device. This includes utility bills received electronically.
