Check Alternative Identification Options
Most jurisdictions allow other forms of identification besides a Voter ID card. This can include a driver’s license, state ID card, passport, or other government-issued photo IDs. Check with your local election office for a list of acceptable IDs.
Provisional Ballot
If you arrive at your polling place without the required ID, you might be allowed to vote using a provisional ballot. After casting a provisional ballot, you will typically be given a certain period to provide proper ID to your local election office for your vote to be counted.
Affidavit or Declaration
Some locations allow voters without ID to sign an affidavit affirming their identity. This sworn statement allows you to vote on a regular ballot, though the specifics can vary by jurisdiction.
Registration Checks
If your identity can be verified through other means available at the polling place, such as electronic or physical voter registers, you might be allowed to vote without further ID.
Seek Assistance
Contact your local election office ahead of time to understand the specific requirements and any deadlines for submitting identification or resolving ID issues.
