Every state has different rules for voting. Your first step is to decide where and how you want to cast your ballot. The ID you need depends on both.
⭐ College students are allowed to vote using their school residence address. You can decide if you prefer to register in your home state or in the state where you attend school. But you can only be registered in one place.
Some states only ask for ID when you’re voting in person. Others require ID to vote by mail or don’t require it at all.
Strict voter ID states require all voters to show an accepted form of ID.
If your state’s ID law is less strict, you might have other options for confirming your identity – like signing a form or having another person verify who you are.
Every state has a specific list of IDs that are accepted for voting. A few states will only accept an unexpired photo ID issued by the government. That means you need to present an ID like your driver’s license, state ID card, or US Passport.
Other states have more ID options. These states may allow you to use a student ID or non-photo documents like your paycheck or cell phone bill!
