In Michigan, there's just one thing you must have when you show up to the polls to cast your ballot.

MICHIGAN, USA — Election Day is less than a week away and many Michiganders are already stopping at the polls for early in-person voting

According to the State of Michigan, every Michigan voter who votes in person during early voting or on Election Day must either have a photo ID or sign an affidavit attesting they don't have one. 

A Michigan driver's license or a Michigan personal identification card can satisfy the requirement for a photo ID. 

Those who don't have either of these documents can show any of these forms of photo ID as long as they're current:

  • Driver’s license or personal ID card issued by another state
  • Federal, state, or local government-issued photo ID
  • U.S. passport
  • Military photo ID card
  • Student photo ID card from an educational institution
  • Tribal photo ID card

Voters who don't have an acceptable photo ID or who forgot to bring an acceptable photo ID can still vote, but they must sign an affidavit.
