Ohio law requires valid, unexpired photo ID when voting in person, so make sure to grab yours before heading out to vote!
Here are the accepted types of ID:
🪪 Ohio BMV-issued driver's license, state ID, or interim ID form
✈️ US Passport or Passport card
🪖US Military ID card or US Military Dependent ID card
👥Ohio National Guard ID card
🇺🇸US Department of Veterans Affairs ID Card
If the address on your ID doesn't match your voter registration, that's ok! Just make sure it's not expired.
