You may need to show identification when you check-in at your polling place if:

• You are voting for the first time in Massachusetts
• You are on the inactive voter list
• You are casting a provisional or challenged ballot
• The poll worker has a practical and legal reason to ask for identification

Identification needs to show your name and the address where you are registered to vote. Examples of acceptable identification are:

• A driver’s license
• A state ID card
• A recent utility bill
• A rent receipt or lease
• A copy of a voter registration affidavit
• A letter from a school dormitory or housing office
• Any other printed identification which contains your name and address
