The ID you need to vote depends on where you are casting your ballot.
Some states don’t ask you to show any ID at the polls while others require a document such as a current government-issued photo ID (like a driver’s license!) that includes your address and signature. Others accept student IDs or documents like paychecks or utility bills.
Depending on your state’s rules, you might need to show ID at the polls, include a copy with your absentee ballot application, or enclose one with your ballot when you vote by mail.
