I.D. REQUIRED TO VOTE

VALID VOTER IDENTIFICATION IS BE REQUIRED TO VOTE IN MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

During the 2009 legislative session HB126S2 made significant changes in voter identification laws. One of those changes is that valid voter identification is now required when voting at the polls on election day. Voters who do not have valid voter identification can cast a provisional ballot and then present valid voter identification to the election officer within five (5) business days after the election in order for their provisional ballot to be counted.

Valid Voter ID includes the following:

Currently valid Utah driver license
The name and address on the Utah driver license must match the name address in the registrar's voter registration book
Currently valid identification card that is issued by the state or branch, department, or agency of the United States
Currently valid Utah permit to carry a concealed weapon
Currently valid United States passport
A valid tribal identification card, whether or not the card includes a photograph of the voter.

If the voter doesn't have any of the above forms of Valid Voter ID, two forms of identification can be shown to the election judges that bear the name of the voter and provide evidence that the voter resides in the voting precinct, which may include:

Current utility bill dated within 90 days before the election
Bank or other financial account statement
Check issued by the state or federal government
Paycheck from the voter's employer
Currently valid Utah hunting or fishing license
Currently valid United States military identification card
Certified naturalization documentation
Currently valid license issued by an authorized agency of the United States
A certified copy of court records showing the voter's adoption or name change
A Bureau of Indian Affairs card
A tribal treaty card
A valid Medicaid card, Medicare card, or Electronic Benefits Transfer Card
A currently valid identification card issued by a local government within the State; an employer for an employee; or a college, university technical school or professional school located within the state
A current Utah vehicle registration
A form of identification that does not contain a photograph, but establishes the name of the voter and provides evidence that the voter resides in the voting precinct, if at least one other form of identification listed above is also presented.
