Michigan law requires that ALL voters show a picture ID. Even if election workers recognize the voter, ID is required. If the voter has no ID, or forgot to bring it to the polls, the voter must sign an affidavit stating that they are not in possession of identification on their application to vote. The voter then proceeds as normal to cast their vote.

Acceptable forms of photo ID are:

• Michigan driver’s license or state ID card (may be expired)
• current (non-expired) driver’s license or personal ID card issued by another state
• federal, state, or local government-issued photo ID
• US passport
• military ID card with a photo
• current student ID with a photo from an educational institution
• tribal ID card with a photo
