Know what kind of AL photo ID you'll need at the 2024 Election Day polls

Alabama law requires an Alabama voter to have a specific type of photo identification at the polls to vote.

If a voter does not have one of the approved forms of photo ID as stated in the law, then he or she may receive a free Alabama photo voter ID from various locations including the Secretary of State's Office, local county board of registrars' offices and a mobile location to be determined by the Secretary of State's Office.

VALID ID AT THE POLLS

A voter can use any of the following forms of photo ID:

• Driver's license (not expired or has been expired less than 60 days)
• Alabama Law Enforcement Agency digital driver's license
• Non-driver ID (not expired or has been expired less than 60 days)
• Alabama Law Enforcement Agency digital non-driver ID
• Alabama photo voter ID
• State-issued ID (Alabama or any other state)
  
  • AL Department of Corrections release-temporary ID (photo required)
  • AL movement/booking sheet from prison/jail system (photo required)
  • Pistol permit (photo required)
• Federal-issued ID
• U.S. passport
• Employee ID from federal government, State of Alabama, county government, municipality, board, authority or other entity of this state
• Student or employee ID from a college or university in the State of Alabama (including postgraduate technical or professional schools)
• Military ID
• Tribal ID

If you have any of these forms of ID, you are not eligible to receive a free Alabama photo voter ID card and must bring one of these photo IDs to the polls on Election Day or place a copy of the ID in absentee ballot materials.

If you have a valid photo ID but don't present it at the polls, you will be allowed to vote on a provisional ballot. You will also be allowed to vote if you are positively identified by two election officials as a voter on the poll list who is eligible to vote and the election officials sign a sworn affidavit so stating.
