Voter Requirements
Photo ID Required to Vote
Michigan election law requires voters to either present a government issued picture identification or sign an affidavit if they do not have picture identification on their person beginning November 6, 2007.
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.
