Under a Michigan law passed in 1996 and upheld in July by the Michigan Supreme Court, ALL voters are required to show photo identification to vote at the polls. Voters without identification will be required to fill out and sign an affidavit in order to receive a ballot.

Accepted forms of photo identification are:

Driver's license or personal identification card issued by Michigan or another state

Federal or state government issued photo identification

US passport

Current student identification with photo from high school or accredited institution of higher education

Military identification card with photo

Tribal identification card with photo

The identification requirement does not apply to persons voting by absentee ballot.
