ID, ID, ID, it’s time to satisfy the Registrar that you are who you are. As you may have heard, Virginia no longer requires a PHOTO ID, in order to vote (except in one circumstance), but you still have to have SOME ID. Although by far, most people still use a Driver’s License (even an expired one will be accepted), below is a list of what ELSE you can use.
BE AWARE – if you can’t produce an acceptable ID, then you STILL CAN VOTE, you have to sign an ID Confirmation Statement and then you can vote with a regular ballot.
