Identification Requirements at the Voting Booth
House Bill 3 was signed by the Governor on January 31, 2006
Voters must bring identification to the polls in order to verify
identity. Identification may include a current and valid photo
identification, a military identification, or a copy of a current utility bill, bank
statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document,
other than this reminder or a voter registration notification that shows
the voter’s name and current address. Voters who do not provide one of
these documents will still be able to vote by providing the last four
digits of the voter’s social security number and by casting a
provisional ballot. Voters who do not have any of the above forms of
identification, including a social security number, will still be able
to vote by signing an affirmation swearing to the voter’s identity under
penalty of election falsification and by casting a provisional ballot.

How is residence determined?
By law your residence is the place to which, whenever you are absent,
you have the intent to return. Leaving for temporary purposes, such as
military service or school attendance, does not result in a change of
residence for voting purposes, unless you register in the area where you
are currently residing.
Can a
student vote from his/her school address?
Yes, if the student regards that place as his/her residence and registers
to vote. Otherwise, the student must vote in his/her home community if
registered. The student may vote by requesting an absentee application
(See voting information page for form.) |
