What should I bring
Kentucky
You will need to show photo ID, or be known personally by a precinct election officer, to vote in Kentucky. Acceptable forms include: driver's license; military ID; college ID; Kentucky government ID. If you don't have a photo ID, you may obtain a free photo ID card at your circuit clerk's office or one of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's regional offices.
If you cannot obtain a photo ID you may sign a “Reasonable Impediment Declaration" and present one of the following non-photo IDs: Social Security Card; any ID issued by a county in KY that's been approved by the State Board of Elections and shows your name); any ID card with both the voter's photograph and name; any food stamp ID card, electronic benefit transfer card, or supplemental nutrition assistance card issued by KY that shows voter's name; or a credit or debit card that shows your name.
Voters without ID: If you are unable to provide ID, you will be able to vote a provisional ballot.
Indiana
You must have an ID that meets the following criteria:
1. Display your photo;
2. Display your name, and the name must be similar to your voter registration record;
3. Display an expiration date and either be current or have expired sometime after the date of the last General Election (November 6, 2018); and
NOTE: An ID issued by the US Department of Defense, a branch of the uniformed services, the Merchant Marine, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (or Veterans Administration), or the Indiana National Guard is not required to have an expiration date, or may state that the document has an "Indefinite" expiration date.
4. Be issued by the State of Indiana or the U.S. government.
In most cases, an Indiana driver license, Indiana photo ID card, Military ID or U.S. Passport is sufficient.
A student ID from an Indiana State school may only be used if it meets all of the 4 criteria specified above. A student ID from a private institution may not be used for voting purposes.
If you are unable or unwilling to present ID meeting these requirements, you may cast a provisional ballot. If you cast a provisional ballot, you have until noon 10 days after the election to follow up with the county election board and either provide the necessary documentation or affirm one of the law’s exemptions applies to you.
