WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING TO THE POLLS?
To vote in Michigan, you must present an acceptable form of photo identification such as a Michigan driver’s license or a Michigan personal ID card.
The following are also acceptable as long as they are current:
- Driver’s license or personal ID card issued by another state
- Federal or state government-issued photo ID
- U.S. passport
- Military identification card with photo
- Student identification with photo from a high school or accredited institution of higher education
- Tribal identification card with photo
You do not need to present a voter registration card to vote.
What if I don’t have my ID with me?
If you do not have acceptable picture ID or forgot to bring it to the polls, you can vote by signing a brief affidavit stating you are not in possession of a photo ID. Your ballot will be counted with all other ballots on Election Day.
