Get Ready to Vote
Every state has its own voting rules. Some states accept all Tribal IDs for voting. While others accept only specific Tribal IDs, or none at all.
A Tribal ID accepted for voting in one state may not be accepted in another.
Select your state from the menu at the top of this page to check your options.
Tribal ID as Voter ID
States that accept Tribal ID may have specific requirements that your ID needs to meet, like:
- Photo
- Expiration Date
- Issued by a Tribe located in the state
- Issued by a federally recognized Tribe
If your Tribal ID isn’t accepted for voting, check your state’s other ID options. Some states have specific alternatives for Native voters.
