Those without a valid photo ID can still cast a ballot in the election, but there are additional requirements.
A voter will need to complete a voter affirmation form at their polling location and provide an alternative form of identification. Acceptable documents include:
-
A Social Security card.
-
An ID issued by a Kentucky county that shows the voter’s name and has been approved by the State Board of Elections.
-
Any card with the voter’s name and photograph.
-
A food stamp ID card, Electronic Benefit Transfer card or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program card that shows the voter’s name.
Anew lawpassed by the Kentucky General Assembly in March removes Social Security cards and SNAP cards as options, but the provision does not go into effect until July.
