If you cannot obtain a photo ID you may sign a “Reasonable Impediment Declaration” and present one of the following non-photo IDs: Social Security Card; any ID issued by a county in KY that’s been approved by the State Board of Elections and shows your name); any ID card with both the voter’s photograph and name; any food stamp ID card, electronic benefit transfer card, or supplemental nutrition assistance card issued by KY that shows voter’s name; or a credit or debit card that shows your name.
Voters without ID: If you are unable to provide ID, you will be able to vote a provisional ballot.
If you plan to vote in person, wear a mask, consider bringing hand sanitizer, and practice social distancing by standing six feet apart from your fellow voters. Read more recommendations for voters at cdc.gov.
Kentucky voters can also vote before Election Day. The early voting period runs from Tuesday, October 13, 2020 to Monday, November 2, 2020, but dates and hours may vary based on where you live.
