Poll workers will ask you to show a Photo ID when you vote at your polling place.
Voter ID strengthens the public’s faith in the integrity of our elections by enabling
poll workers to match a voter’s name to their face.
What is an acceptable Photo ID?
IDs must be valid and not have expired more than six (6) months prior to voting, but they do not need to
have your current address.
Acceptable Photo IDs include:
› RI driver’s license/permit
› U.S. passport
› ID card issued by any federally recognized tribal government
› ID card issued by an educational institution in the U.S.
› U.S. military ID card
› ID card issued by the U.S. government or State of Rhode Island (RIPTA bus pass, etc.)
› Government issued medical card
› RI Voter ID card
Protecting Your Vote
No eligible voter will be turned away at the polls. Voters who do not bring ID to the polls can vote using a
standard provisional ballot, which will be counted if the signature they give at the polling place matches
the signature on their voter registration card.
Mail ballots will not require Voter ID.
