State of PA

If a voter is voting for the first time in an election district, the voter must show proof
of identification, either photo or non-photo identification.

Act 18 of 2012 imposed new proof of identification requirements for voters applying to vote by absentee ballot. The court’s ruling in 2014 did not affect those new requirements and
they remain in effect.


A voter applying to vote by absentee ballot must provide proof of identification.

A voter who does not include proof of identification with the absentee ballot application should still receive an absentee ballot; however, the county board of elections must send a notice to the voter with the absentee ballot requiring the voter to provide proof of identification
with the absentee ballot.
