Those who vote at the polls on Election Day must show one of the following types of ID:
-
Current and valid photo ID issued by the federal government or the State of Ohio (driver’s licenses and non-driver photo IDs issued by the Ohio BMV are acceptable even if the address does not match the address on the voter’s registration)
-
Military ID
-
A copy or original of a current utility bill (including a cell phone bill), bank statement, paycheck, government check or other government document (including those issued by a public college or university) that shows the voter’s name and current address (but not a notice of an election or a voter registration notification sent by a Board of Elections).
-
A utility bill may be a printout of an electronically transmitted statement for services owed, paid, or a regular paper copy.
-
Colleges and universities may issue students living on campus a current utility bill with a current address that students can use as voter ID. A bill indicating that the student has already paid for utilities is acceptable (zero balance).

Every Vote Matters
We're Here To Help Inform Yours
Fair Elections Center has created "Know Your Voting Rights" guides for ten states where we have focused our work to help voters if they encounter problems at the polls in the 2022 midterm elections. These guides will help give in-person voters the tools to assert their rights and protect their freedom to vote. Voters have important rights under federal law, but some of these rules at the polling place vary by state. While most voters will likely have a smooth voting experience, we want to make sure that they understand what to do if they do run into challenges or other hurdles at the polls.
