Contributors

constitutionA new Virginia law, effective July 1, 2014, requires voters to present acceptable photo identification to vote in-person for the November election.

Acceptable forms of identification include the following:

  • Valid Virginia Driver’s License  Government-issued photo identification
  • DMV-issued photo identification card
  • Valid Employee photo identification card
  • Valid United States Passport  New Virginia Voter Photo

If you do not have an acceptable form of photo identification, please contact your local voter registration office for a free Virginia Voter Photo Identification Card.

If you do not possess your photo identification when voting, you may still vote a provisional ballot.
