    Reasonable Impediment

    Voters who do not possess and cannot reasonably obtain a form of approved photo ID now have additional options when voting in person. These voters may vote by:

    1. Signing a declaration at the polls explaining why the voter is reasonably unable to obtain one of the acceptable forms of photo ID.
    2. Providing one of various forms of supporting documentation given below:
    • A certified birth certificate
    • A valid voter registration certificate
    • A copy or original of a current utility bill

    Special Notice for a “Forgotten” ID

    If a voter possesses an acceptable form of photo ID but does not have it at the polling place, the voter will still be permitted to vote provisionally. The voter will have six (6) days to present an acceptable form of photo identification to the county voter registrar or the voter’s ballot will be rejected. Alternatively, a voter who possesses an acceptable form of photo ID but does not have it at the polling place may choose to leave the polling place and return before the close of the polls on election day with said acceptable form of photo ID, if the voter would otherwise qualify, to vote a regular ballot at that time.
