Voter ID Laws kare laws in each state that may require a voter to show government issued photo identification at the polling places. All states must meet the minimum requirement set by the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) which requires photo ID for those who register by mail and did not provide identification. However, some states have stricter requirements set by state law.[1]

In general, valid forms of photo ID often include:

  • a valid driver's license
  • military ID
  • a state identification card
  • United States passport
  • student identification

If valid ID is not provided, most states issue a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are usually counted once a voter's eligibility is confirmed. Some states require that confirmation be provided within a particular time frame following the election. Make sure to check your state for specific details.

(last updated May 3, 2013)

For the purposes of this page, we assessed each state's laws by categorizing them into two broad groups: whether the state does or does not require photo IDs on election day at polling locations.

Some states do require photo IDs in particular situations but not in general (first time voters, for example). On the tab called "Details by state" you'll find more information about upcoming changes in state laws, pending legislation and links to state documents that outline details about what is considered a valid form of identification.

Arkansas Electors must announce his/her name, address and confirm date of birth. Valid identification includes photo and non-photo identification.

Note: On March 19, 2013 the Arkansas Senate sent a voter-ID bill (SB 2) to Gov. Mike Beebe for final approval. The Senate voted 22-12 in agreement with a House amendment to the measure. According to reports, the governor planned to wait for Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel to respond to a lawmaker's question about the constitutionality of the bill. Prior to the Senate's vote the Senate Rules Committee issued a non-binding advisory opinion that the Senate had previously not properly passed the bill. The committee said that because SB 2 would alter the Arkansas Constitution it would require a 2/3 vote approval. The advisory opinion was rejected by the full Senate.[4] On March 25, 2013, Gov. Beebe rejected the bill. He wrote, the bill "unnecessarily restricts and impairs our citizens' right to vote." Beebe also noted that the implementation costs would have risen to $300,000.[5] On March 27, 2013 the Arkansas Senate voted 21-12, along party lines, to override the governor's veto.[6] On April 1, 2013 the state house voted 52-45 in agreement with the senate to override Gov. Beebe's veto.[7][8]

Note: Mississippi's 2011 voter ID amendment requires an implementing statute and faces USDOJ pre-clearance, before it can take effect. In October 2012, the justice department requested additional information about the law. Mississippi voters, therefore, did not have to show proof of identification to vote in the November 6, 2012 elections.[11] In late January 2013, proposed administration rules for the new voter photo identification rules were submitted to the USDOJ for approval. According to reports, the rules allow for voters who lack an acceptable photo ID to obtain a free voter photo ID card by presenting the same identification materials accepted when a person registers to vote.[12] 		Link

New Hampshire Note: On June 27, 2012 the New Hampshire State Senate and House of Representatives voted to override the governor’s veto of Senate Bill 289. Senate voted 18-5, while the House voted 231-112. The two-thirds requirement to override the governor's veto was met. Both re-introduced and approved an amended version of House Bill 1354. The governor has five days from June 27 to sign, veto or let HB 1354 become law without his signature. The bill would require people to present photo identification when voting. Those who do not have a photo ID can vote a valid ballot after executing an affidavit right there at the polls.[13] Before implementation, the new law requires DOJ clearance.[14] New Hampshire debuted the new voter identification law in the September 2012 primaries. However, voters could still cast a ballot without an ID. For the November 2012 elections, voters can cast ballots without ID but they will have to sign an affidavit. After the election, the attorney general's office will contact each person who signed an affidavit to verify the identity of the voter.[15] Link

According to reports, the bill would allow the use of student IDs from public colleges. However, student IDs from private institutions would not qualify as legal forms of identification. If the bill becomes law, the changes would go into effect in 2016.[16][17] 		Link
North Dakota Electors must present identification before voting. Acceptable forms of identification must include the voter's address. If a valid form of identification cannot be produced, voters can still vote if either an election poll worker can vouch for their identity and residence; or if they complete a voter's affidavit.
Note: On April 6, 2013 the North Dakota State Senate approved a voter identification bill. House Bill 1332 passed by a 30-16 vote.

In order for a provisional ballot to count, you must provide a photo ID or affirmation to your county elections office within 6 days.
Note: On July 25th the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania heard a challenge from the ACLU and other voting rights groups.[21] Closing arguments were heard on August 2nd.[22] On August 16, 2012 Judge Robert Simpson didn't rule on the state constitutional merits, but he did throw out the ACLU challenge. According to reports, the ACLU plans to appeal the decision. For now, the voter ID law stands.[23] Supporters and opponents were scheduled to argue the validity of the state’s new voter ID law before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on September 13, 2012.[24] On September 18, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued a 4-2 per curiam (unsigned) decision which sent the case back to the trial court for more fact finding.[25][26] The state's high court asked the trial court "to ensure there is 'liberal access' to new voting-only IDs and there will be 'no disenfranchisement' of voters on Nov. 6." An opinion was due to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court by October 2.[27] On October 2, 2012 a judge ruled that for the most part the Pennsylvania voter ID law can remain intact for November 6, 2012 elections.[28] However, a narrow injunction allowed those without IDs to cast a ballot. According to reports, the full trial would be scheduled after the November 2012 elections.[29] According to December 2012 reports, a trial date to determine the constitutionality of the state's new voter-ID law would possibly be scheduled for Summer 2013. For the May 2013 primary, Commonwealth Court Judge Robert E. Simpson Jr. said he would likely hold a hearing in the Spring to determine how to handle voter IDs for the primaries.[30] The state's voter ID rule won't be enforced during the May 2013 primary.[31] 		Link
Rhode Island Identification is required at the polls. If a voter is unable to present photo ID they can use certain non-photo IDs. The ID must include your name and address. Additionally, the identification must be dated since November 2, 2010, unless the document is of permanent nature (such as a birth certificate or social security card). In such cases, only a name is required to appear on the identification. Link
South Carolina Voters are required to show any one of three forms of identification in order to vote: voter registration card, driver’s license or picture identification card issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles. The South Carolina Election Commission lists several reasons a person may be exempted from the photo identification requirement: religious objection to being photographed, disability or illness, work schedule, lack of transportation, lack of birth certificate and more.[32]
Note: Pre-clearance for South Carolina's new photo ID law was denied on December 23, 2011. The state applied for reconsideration. However, on June 29, 2012, the U.S. Department of Justice again denied the new photo law.[33][34] South Carolina's Voter ID law is scheduled to go on trial August 27 until August 31.[35] In late September, reports indicated that the panel of federal judges was expected to issue its decision in October 2012.[36] In October 2012, a panel of federal judges ruled that given the time left before the November 2012 election, the photo ID law puts a burden on minority voters that violates the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Therefore, the law was blocked for the purposes of the November 6, 2012 election.[37] However, the three-judge federal panel ruled that the law does not discriminate against minorities. According to reports, the South Carolina voter identification law takes effect in 2013. Voters in the state are required to show one of five types of photo ID to cast a ballot.[38] The lawsuit cost a reported $3.5 million. According to a January 4, 2013 order filed in U.S. District Court in Washington by the three-judge panel,"South Carolina is accordingly entitled to costs from both defendants and defendant-intervenors" because it did win the case.[39] The government was order to pay $54,000 of the $3.5 million.[40] 		Link
South Dakota All first time voters must show proof of identification. Approved forms of photo identification include: South Dakota driver’s license or nondriver ID card, U.S. government photo ID, U.S. Armed Forces ID, student photo ID from a South Dakota high school or South Dakota accredited institution of higher education or Tribal photo ID. If you do not have a photo ID, you can sign a personal identification affidavit. Link
Tennessee At polling places, voters must show government-issued photo identification. Valid forms of ID do not include student ID cards from state universities.
Note: A judge ruled on September 26, 2012 that Tennessee's voter ID law does not violate the state constitution. The lawsuit was filed by civil rights attorney George Barrett.[41][42] On October 25, 2012, the Court of Appeals upheld Tennessee's voter ID law. Additionally, the court issued an order requiring state officials to accept Memphis library cards as government-issued photo identification. State officials have announced plans to appeal the ruling over the library card. The state argues that library IDs are not valid because they were not issued by state government.[43] On February 6, 2013 the Tennessee Supreme Court was asked to decide whether the state’s voter ID law deprives people of the right to vote, if safeguards should be implemented to prevent election fraud and if a city-issued photo library card can be used as identification to vote.[44] On April 24, 2013 Gov. Bill Haslam signed into law a bill that requires photo identification issued by the state of Tennessee or United States to vote. Voter IDs issued by other states are not valid, according to the approved bill. In regard to the lawsuit about the use of library cards as voter IDs, the Tennessee Supreme Court ordered that the Memphis Photo Library IDs be accepted until the court issues a final ruling.[45][46] 		Link
Texas Following registration to vote, voters will receive a voter registration certificate. The certificate should be presented to an election officer at the polling place. Additionally, all voters who registered to vote in Texas must provide a Texas driver's license number, personal identification number issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety or the last four digits of your social security number.
Note: Texas' new photo ID law, SB14, requires pre-clearance by the USDOJ before going into effect. Pre-clearance was denied on March 13, 2012. A lawsuit was filed by the State of Texas. Hearings started July 9, 2012. Texas v. Holder, 12-00128, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).[47][48] On August 30, 2012, a three-judge panel in United States District Court for the District of Columbia unanimously struck down the Texas photo voter identification law. The court ruled that the law would hurt minority voter turnout and impose strict burdens on the poor.[49] On December 17, 2012 a federal court deferred proceedings in a lawsuit filed by the state of Texas about the state's voter ID law. The federal court said that it would wait until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on whether part of the Voting Rights Act is constitutional. The court will hear arguments in the case on February 27, 2013.[50]
Texas, Appellant v. Eric H. Holder, Jr., Attorney General 		Link
Utah At the polling place, voters can either present a form of identification that bears the name and photograph of the voter or two forms of identification that bear the name of the voter and provide evidence of the voter’s residence. Link
Vermont Only first time voters who registered by mail are required to show identification in order to vote. Link
Virginia For persons who registered to vote in Virginia by mail, federal law requires them to show identification when voting for the first time in a federal election if they did not send a copy of one of these IDs with their voter registration applications. Virginia law requires all other voters to provide identification at the polls, or sign an Affirmation of Identity under felony penalty, in order to vote at the polls.
Note: On May 20, 2012 Gov. Bob McDonnell signed legislation that requires someone without identification to vote provisionally. This would eliminate the Affirmation of Identity. According to reports, the U.S. Justice Department must determine whether Virginia's new law is constitutional. On August 20, 2012 the Justice Department approved the voter ID changes.[51] On February 20, 2013 the Virginia House approved a strict photo identification bill with a vote of 65-30. The bill would require all voters to present photo identification to cast a ballot. Voters without photo identification would be required to cast a provisional ballot that would only be counted if proper identification was displayed by noon on the Friday following the election.[52] On March 26, 2013 Gov. McDonnell signed the bill into law. The new law goes into effect for 2014 elections.[53] 		Link
Washington Vote by mail. Link
West Virginia
Wisconsin Photo ID is not currently required in Wisconsin.
Note: On March 6 and March 12, 2012, two separate judges issued injunctions preventing the Government Accountability Board from enforcing photo ID requirements in 2011 Act 23. The Wisconsin Department of Justice appealed those injunctions and the appeals have been certified to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which on April 16 sent them back to the respective Courts of Appeals. In mid-July 2012, Dane County Circuit Judge David Flanagan ruled that "the state's requirement that all voters show photo ID at the polls creates a 'substantial impairment of the right to vote' guaranteed by the state constitution." An appeal was filed, however, the court is not expected to rule until after November 2012. This means that photo IDs will not be required at the polls in the August 14 primary and November 6 election.[54] On September 27, 2012, the Wisconsin Supreme Court declined to take the case, for the time being. The high court said that if it were to review the law, it would hear arguments from both cases at the same time. Following the court's decision, an initial appeal brief was filed in one of the cases.[55] On January 14, 2013, the Wisconsin Supreme Court again refused to take the case.[56] 		Link
