All voters are required to show photo ID or sign a Personal Identification Affidavit to cast a regular ballot.
Acceptable forms of ID include:
- An Idaho driver’s license or photo Identification Card
- A U.S. passport or Federal photo identification card
- A tribal photo identification card.
- A license to carry a concealed weapon issued by a county sheriff in Idaho
- A current student photo ID, issued by an Idaho high school or post-secondary education institution.
The name on the ID must match the name on the registration list in the poll book but common abbreviations and nicknames are acceptable.
NOTE: Effective January 1, 2024, the use of a student ID card issued by an Idaho high school or institution of higher education will no longer be an accepted form of voter ID.
If you do not have an acceptable form of ID, you can get one from your local DMV. You must bring proof of age, residency, legal presence, name change (if applicable) and your Social Security number in order to obtain your new ID.
Also, if you do not have acceptable forms of ID you may be given the option to sign the Personal Identification Affidavit. Please ask in your polling location for this option if needed.
