One of the following:
◦The elector’s driver’s license number;
◦The last four digits of the elector’s social security number;
◦Copy of a current and valid photo identification, a military identification, current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or other government document (other than a voter registration notification mailed by a Board of Elections) that shows your name and current address;

■A statement identifying the election for which the absent voter’s ballots are requested;
■A statement that the person requesting the ballot is a qualified elector;
■If the request is for a primary election, the elector’s party affiliation;
■The address to which the ballot shall be mailed if different from registered address
