25. A voter registration Certificate is an acceptable form of ID

Except for certain first time voters who did not provide their drivers' license number or last four digits of their social security number when registering, a voter registration certificate is an acceptable form of ID. I worked as an election judge during the primary to get an idea as to how the system work and we liked voter registration certificates because you could scan the bar codes on these documents and speed up the sign in process.

An expired voter registration certificate is also an acceptable form of ID. In addition, expired drivers' licenses are acceptable.

I am going to vote early tomorrow and just for fun I am bringing my power bill as my form of id. In the alternative, I may use my Costco card. I just want to check and make sure that the system works.
