WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING SO I CAN VOTE?

You need to have a form of ID with you to cast a ballot on election day. Acceptable forms of identification include the following (as listed by the Secretary of State's site):

- An unexpired Ohio driver's license or state identification card with present or former address so long as the voter's present residential address is printed in the official list of registered voters for that precinct.

- A military identification.

- A photo identification that was issued by the United States government or the state of Ohio that contains the voter's name and current address with an expiration date that has not passed.

- An original or copy of a current utility bill with the voter's name and present address.

- An original or copy of a current bank statement with the voter's name and present address.

- An original or copy of a current government check with the voter's name and present address.

- An original or copy of a current paycheck with the voter's name and present address.

- An original or copy of a current other government document (other than a notice of voter registration mailed by the board of elections) that shows the voter's name and present address.

WHAT IF I FORGET MY ID?

You can cast a provisional ballot by providing your Ohio driver's license or state identification number OR the last four digits of your Social Security number. "Once the information is reviewed and verified by the board of elections, your ballot will be counted."

But... There's more.

"If you do not provide one of the above documents or your driver’s license/state identification number or the last four digits of your Social Security number at the precinct, you will still be able to vote using a provisional ballot. However, in order for that ballot to be counted, you must return to the board of elections no later than seven days following Election Day to provide a qualifying form of identification."

WHEN IS THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION?
