Make sure you have an acceptable form of ID. Do not wait until the last minute.
To cast a ballot in-person, either during the early voting period or on Election Day, you must have a valid photo ID. Any of the following are acceptable:
- Unexpired Ohio driver’s license with current or former address
- Unexpired state ID card with current or former address
- U.S. passport or passport card
- Military ID, specifically a U.S. Military ID card, Ohio National Guard ID card or a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs ID card
To vote by mail, you may use the last four digits of your Social Security Number (SSN) as identification when casting an absentee ballot.
