What to bring
ID needed only for some first-time voters.
No ID? If you're one of the few voters asked for ID and don't have it, you can still vote a provisional ballot, which is counted once the county confirms your eligibility. Poll workers may not ask for ID unless the roster flags you. If voting by mail and you're flagged, include a copy of an acceptable document in your return envelope.
