Bring ID To The Polls

H.B. 458 changes the types of identification (“ID”) Ohioans may use for voter registration and voting. In general, a voter must have photo ID to vote in person, unless the voter has a religious objection to being photographed and attests to this on the form prescribed by the Secretary of State. For absentee voting by mail, a voter may still provide an Ohio driver’s license number or state ID card number, the last four digits of their Social Security Number (“SSN”), or a photocopy of the voter’s photo identification. Beginning on April 7, 2023, any person ages 17 and over who applies for and receives a state ID card from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (“BMV”) may receive it for free.
