Slides from Voter ID Seminar Presentation
- Beginning in 2020, when you present to vote, you will be asked to show photo ID
- If you do not show photo ID, you may vote provisionally. Your provisional ballot will count if you bring acceptable photo ID to your county board of elections office before canvass, or if you sign an affidavit declaring that a reasonable impediment prevented you from showing photo ID
- If you vote by mail, you must enclose a copy of your photo ID unless you sign an affidavit declaring that a reasonable impediment prevented you from enclosing a copy of your photo ID.
- You can obtain a free photo ID at your county board of elections office any time until the Friday before the election.
