Bring your Photo ID to the Polls By Victoria Kidd
A person’s vote is, essentially, a person’s voice. The right to vote is one of the fundamental privileges
of American life.
Voters intending to exercise that right this November need to be aware of voter identifi cation requirements that could impact their ability to cast a ballot. The law, enacted in July of 2014, is clear. All voters have to provide an acceptable form of photo identifi cation (ID) at the polls. Those arriving without
an acceptable photo ID will have to cast what’s called a “provisional ballot.” If a voter is asked to cast a provisional ballot, he or she will have until the Friday following the election to deliver a copy of accepted identifi cation to the electoral board in order for their vote to count.

to cast a provisional ballot, one has to provide a photo ID from the list of acceptable forms of identifi cation. A valid VA driver’s license or identifi cation card, a VA DMV- issued veteran’s ID card, a VA voter photo ID card obtained from the local general register’s offi ce, or a valid U.S. Passport are among the identifi cations most commonly provided.
Additionally, one can provide a valid college or university student photo identifi cation card from an institution
of
higher education located in Virginia, and employee identifi cation card that includes a photo, or a government- issued photo identifi cation card that is provided by the federal government, the state, or a political subdivision of the state. The Virginia Department
of Elections includes a helpful chart on its website that provides voters with information concerning what forms of identifi cation will be accepted on Election Day. For registered voters who do not currently possess one of the
identifi cation forms listed on their website, there is an option to obtain a free Virginia Voter Photo Identifi cation from any general registrar’s offi ce in the state.
Voters can fi nd a wealth of information by visiting http://
elections.virginia.gov. The site includes details concerning voter registration, absentee voting, and more. It’s a good idea to visit https://www.vote.
virginia.gov/search to check your Virginia Voter Record before Election Day. For more information about casting your ballot in Clarke County, visit
