What Do I Need to Vote?
When you head to the polls, you need one of the following forms of ID to cast your vote.

Your driver’s license does NOT need to be REAL ID compliant, according to the Secretary of State’s office.
The photo ID must be current or, for voters under the age of 70, have not expired more than four years prior to voting. Those age 70 and older can use any expired photo ID that otherwise remains correct, no matter how long it has been expired.

Don’t have one of those? Here are supporting forms of ID:

- A bank statement
- A government check
- A paycheck
