What you need to get to the polls in Ohio

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Early voting begins in Ohio on Tuesday. Here you can find out what you need to cast your vote.

Next week: We'll publish our guide to everything you need to know for Ohio's November election.

Voter identification

If you vote in person, you must bring a photo ID. Accepted forms include a valid Ohio driver's license, U.S. passport, or military ID. You are no longer allowed to use bank statements or utility bills.

Other acceptable Forms of identification include an Ohio State ID card; a temporary identification form issued by the Ohio BMV, a U.S. passport card, an Ohio National Guard identification card, and a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs identification card.

Other unacceptable Forms of identification include a driver's license or photo ID issued by a state other than Ohio; a social security card, birth certificate, insurance card, government check, paycheck or other government document, or a registration confirmation notice from the county board of elections.

The IDs must have an expiration date that has not expired; a photograph of the voter and the voter's name, which must substantially match the voter's name as it appears on the electoral roll or poll book.

If you do not have one of the approved forms of identification, you can cast a provisional vote. To have your vote counted, you must return to the BOE within four days of the election and provide photo ID.
