ID at the Polls

Every voter is required to show proof of idenity when voting in person. After arriving to the polls to vote on Election Day, Arizona law requires voters to state your name and place of residence to a poll worker and present one form of identification from List #1, or two different forms of identification from List #2 or #3. (A.R.S. § 16-579)

Valid identification is also required prior to receiving a ballot at any in-person early voting location or emergency voting location or from a special election board. A.R.S. § 16-542; § 16-549

You need a valid government issued ID that includes your name, photo and the address where you are registered to vote (List #1). If that ID does not match your voter record, you need two forms of ID (List #2 or #3). (A.R.S. § 16-579)

LIST #1

Photo identification with name and address — ONE REQUIRED

Acceptable forms of identification with photograph, name, and address of the elector — if the address on the ID does NOT match the address in the Signature Roster, the voter must vote a regular provisional ballot and does NOT have to return. OR, SEE LIST #3.

1. Valid Arizona driver license
2. Valid Arizona non-operating identification license
3. Tribal enrollment card or other form of tribal identification
4. Valid United States federal, state, or local government issued identification

An identification is "valid" unless it can be determined on its face that it has expired.

LIST #2

Non-photo identification (name and address only) — TWO REQUIRED

Acceptable forms of identification without a photograph that bear the name and address of the elector — if the address on the ID does NOT match the address in the Signature Roster, the voter must vote a regular provisional ballot and does NOT have to return.

1. Utility bill of the elector that is dated within ninety days of the date of the election. A utility bill may be for electric, gas, water, solid waste, sewer, telephone, cellular phone, or cable television
2. Bank or credit union statement that is dated within 90 days of the date of the election
3. Valid Arizona Vehicle Registration

LIST #3

Mix and Match from Lists #1 and #2

If a voter does not have sufficient identification when voting in person, the voter will be offered a conditional provisional ballot. In order for the conditional ballot to be valid and counted, state law requires the voter must provide sufficient ID to the County Recorder five (5) business days after the Primary and General Election or a special election that includes a federal office. Conditional provisional voters have three (3) business days to provide sufficient ID for all other elections. Learn more about provisional ballots here.
