Forms of accepted ID

Montana requires voters to present identification while voting.

Montana's voter identification requirements are outlined in Section 13-13-114 of Montana Code. The law states, "Before an elector is permitted to receive a ballot or vote, the elector shall present to an election judge one of the following forms of identification showing the elector's name that is current, valid, and readable:"[1]

  • (i) a Montana driver's license, Montana state identification card issued pursuant to 61-12-501, military identification card, tribal photo identification card, United States passport, or Montana concealed carry permit, or student photo identification card issued by the Montana university system or a school that is a member of the national association of intercollegiate athletics; or
  • (ii) (A) a current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, government check, or other government document that shows the elector's name and current address; and (B) photo identification that shows the elector's name.[2]


Provisional ballot rules

Voters in Montana are given provisional ballots, or ballots requiring additional steps or information before they can be counted, under the following circumstances.[3]

  • If the voter returned an absentee ballot that is not signed or the signature does not match the signature on file, the voter has the right to cast a provisional ballot.
    • "Absentee ballots become provisional ballots if they have no signature or the signature does not match and the signature issue is not resolved in time for counting on Election Day."
  • If the voter wants to vote in person, "but the register indicates s/he has an active absentee ballot," the voter has the right to cast a provisional ballot.
    • "If the register indicates the elector has an Accepted ballot, they should not vote a provisional ballot at the polls unless the voter affirms in writing that the voter did not vote the accepted ballot."
  • If the voter is late-registering and "votes at the election office on Election Day and is a transfer registrant (precinct to precinct or county to county)," the voter has the right to cast a provisional ballot.
  • If the voter is "late-registering at the election office and their Montana driver's license number or last 4 digits of the SSN did not verify through MT Votes Voter Verify after exhausting all of the search options available," the voter has the right to cast a provisional ballot.
  • If the voter is provisionally registered, the voter has the right to cast a provisional ballot.
  • If the voter is unable to provide a valid form of identification, the voter has the right to cast a provisional ballot.
  • If the voter’s name does not appear on the voter registration list, the voter has the right to cast a provisional ballot.
  • If the voter’s right to vote is challenged, the voter has the right to cast a provisional ballot.[2]

According to Montana state law, "To verify eligibility to vote, a provisionally registered individual who casts a provisional ballot has until 5:00 p.m. on the day after the election to provide valid identification or eligibility information either in person, by facsimile, by electronic means, or by mail postmarked no later than the day after the election."[4]

A provisional ballot is rejected when election officials are unable to verify the voter’s identity or eligibility to vote.[5]

Voter ID laws by state

See also: Voter identification laws by state

Thirty-five states require voters to present identification in order to vote at the polls on Election Day. Of these states, 23 require voters to present identification containing a photograph, and 12 accept other forms of identification. The remaining 15 states do not require voters to present identification in order to vote at the polls on Election Day.

Valid forms of identification differ by state. In certain states that require voters to provide identification, there may be exceptions that allow some voters to cast a ballot without providing an ID. To see more about these exceptions, see details by state. Commonly accepted forms of ID include driver's licenses, state-issued identification cards, and military identification cards.

In the map below, states that require registered voters to present identification at the polls on Election Day or that require poll workers to request identification from a vote are classified as states requiring identification. Some of these states provide for exceptions to these requirements. See the table below the map for more details. Follow the links provided for additional information about voter identification in each state.

Several states that do not require identification generally require first-time voters to present identification at the polls. Other states that don't generally require identification may require it if the voter did not provide proper identification to register. Federal law requires newly registered voters to provide either a driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security Numbers at the time of registration. Many states that require identification allow voters to cast provisional ballots if they do not have the required identification. Hover over each state in the map below for more details.
