ID Needed for Voting for Illinois

Identification is not required to vote at the polls, although you will be required to verify your signature. If you registered to vote-by-mail and did not submit any ID with the registration, you must show a form of ID to vote.

Acceptable forms are:

  • A current and valid photo ID
  • Utility bill
  • Bank statement
  • Government check
  • Paycheck
  • Lease or contract for residence
  • Student ID and mail addressed to voter’s residence
  • Government document

All forms of the IDs above must show your name and address. If you do not show any ID types, you will be asked to vote a Provisional Ballot.

A government-issued photo ID is not required to vote during Early Voting as long as your registration is accurate and up to date.

Voters can call or text 844-338-8743 anytime to reach VoteRiders Voter ID Helpline.
