What to Bring to Vote: Voter ID Requirements by State, and What a Provisional Ballot Is

It depends on your state: most ask in-person voters for identification, the accepted list differs from state to state, and a few ask most registered voters for none. No state in the Ledger's table requires a REAL ID or a passport specifically. If you cannot show what your state asks for, you can often still vote, by signing an identity form or casting a provisional ballot; in many states a provisional ballot counts only if you follow up within days.

How this record is made

01

Documents first

Every claim on every profile began as a primary document — a roll call, a filing, a canvass, a court record, an official page — and the document is linked beside the claim.

02

Claims labelled as claims

Where a claim could not be verified it is labelled as the campaign's own and left there. Where a rating body's published figure differs from the campaign's, the published figure is printed.

03

Two languages, one record

Each profile is published in English and Spanish with identical structure, and each carries machine-readable identifiers so a search engine attaches it to the right person.
