State Voter Laws

In the state of Virginia, you have to have a government issued photo ID to vote. You can vote with one of these IDs:

Valid Virginia Driver’s License or Identification Card
Valid Virginia DMV issued Veteran’s ID card
Valid United States Passport
Other government-issued photo identification cards (must be issued by US Government, the Commonwealth of Virginia, or a political subdivision of the Commonwealth)

Tribal enrollment or other tribal ID issued by one of 11 tribes recognized by the Commonwealth of Virginia
Valid college or university student photo identification card (must be from an institution of higher education located in Virginia)

Valid student ID issued by a public school or private school in Virginia displaying a photo
Employee identification card containing a photograph of the voter and issued by an employer of the voter in the ordinary course of the employer’s business

Voters without ID: If you are unable to provide ID, you are required to sign a statement that you are the registered voter you claim to be in order to cast a ballot. A voter who does not show one of the required forms of identification and does not complete or sign the statement shall be offered a provisional ballot. After completing the provisional ballot, you will be given written instructions from the election officials on how to submit a copy of your ID so that your vote can be counted. You will have until noon on the Friday following the election to deliver a copy of the ID to the local electoral board.
