Voter Picture
Identification Requirements
Due to a recent court ruling, every Michigan voter who offers to
vote in the polls must comply with the requirement by showing
picture identification or signing an affidavit attesting that he or
she is not in possession of picture identification. (See MCL
168.523 for picture identification requirement)
Voters with picture identification: Voters can satisfy the
picture identification requirement by showing a Michigan driver’s
license or a Michigan personal identification card.
Voters who do not possess either document may show any of
the following forms of picture identification as long as they are
current:
- Driver’s license or personal identification card issued by
another state
- Federal or state government-issued photo identification
- U.S. passport
- Military identification card with photo
- Student identification with photo from a high school or an
accredited institution of higher education
- Tribal identification card with photo
Voters without picture identification: Michigan
election law anticipates that not all voters will have picture
identification. Voters who do not bring picture identification
to the polls or do not possess picture identification can vote like
any other voter by signing an affidavit.
