Ohio law requires valid, unexpired photo ID when voting in person, so make sure to grab yours before heading out to vote!
Here are the accepted types of ID:
🪪 Ohio BMV-issued driver's license, state ID, or interim ID form
✈️ US Passport or Passport card
🪖US Military ID card or US Military Dependent ID card
👥Ohio National Guard ID card
🇺🇸US Department of Veterans Affairs ID Card
If the address on your ID doesn't match your voter registration, that's ok! Just make sure it's not expired.

Why has homicide dropped so much, so fast, and in so many places? ⤵️
