Pennsylvania ID Needed for Voting

Unless your are a first time voter, you do not need to show any ID to vote a regular ballot on Election Day.

• Pennsylvania driver's license or PENNDOT ID card
• ID issued by any Commonwealth agency
• ID issued by the US Government
• US Passport
• US armed Forces ID
• Student ID
• Employee ID
• Confirmation issued by the County Voter Registration Office
• Non-photo ID issued by the Commonwealth that shows name and address
• Non-photo ID issued by the US Government that shows name and address
• Firearm permit
• Current utility bill that shows name and address
• Current bank statement that shows name and address
• Current paycheck that shows name and address
• Government check that shows name and address

All voters may be asked to show ID at the polls, however, you cannot be stopped from voting a regular ballot if you do not provide a valid ID.
