What do you need to bring?
If you’ve previously voted in a federal election in New York, you don’t need to bring an ID to the polls. ut you will be asked to sign your name on the back of the registration poll record for that voter. Two poll officials will then compare the signature with the signature on the registration poll record. If the signatures match, you will be permitted to vote.
If this is your first time voting in a federal election in New York, you may have to present ID before voting on Election Day. This is likely if you registered to vote by mail and did not provide proof of identification then. Identification may include (but is not limited to):
- A driver's license or department of motor vehicles non-driver photo ID card or other current and valid photo identification;
- A copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document that shows the name and address of the voter.
If you are not able to show one of these items to the poll officials, then you can only vote by affidavit ballot, unless a court order provides otherwise.
For more information, contact your state election office.
