Voter I.D. Requirements
Pursuant to the federal "Help America Vote Act of 2002" (HAVA), if you registered to vote by mail in your county after January 1, 2003,
and never voted in a federal election in the county, you were required to provide your county commissioner of registration
with identification.
Voting at Polling Locations
|
If you did not provide identification to the county commissioner of registration or if the identification information could not be verified (i.e.,
your driver's license number or the last four digits of your social security number), YOU MUST SHOW IDENTIFICATION AT THE POLLING PLACE WHEN YOU GO
TO VOTE.
|

Identification may include, but not limited to,
Any Current and Valid Photo ID:
|
| |
Driver’s license
|
| |
Student or job ID
|
| |
Military or other government ID
|
| |
Store membership ID

Non-photo driver’s license

If you show identification, you will vote in the
voting machine.
If you do not show identification, you will vote by provisional
ballot and have until the close of business on the second day after the election
to provide identification to the applicable county election office. You will be
given a hand-out at the polling place that will tell you which county
election office to contact.
|
|
YOU SHOULD BRING IDENTIFICATION WITH YOU TO THE POLLING PLACE IN CASE YOU NEED IT.
|
Voting By Mail
If you applied for a Application for Mail-In Ballot, and were required to show identification, you should have received a request for identification
in your Mail-In ballot materials.
The identification requirement, however, does not apply to any Application for Mail-In Ballot voter who receives a ballot because of temporary illness or a temporary
or permanent disability or any Mail-In military or overseas civilian voter.
If you have any questions, you can call 1-877-NJVOTER
(1-877-658-6837). |
