Identification

If you do not have identification available but are known to the election worker receiving your vote, the election worker may confirm your identity. 

What is accepted as identification?  

It is the election worker that decide whether the identification you have can be accepted or not, with the minimum requirements being that it must include name, date of birth, and a picture. 

Examples of identification are passport, national ID-card, driver's license (digital as well), and bank ID with picture. Election workers should exercise discretion when assessing the voter's identification, and other forms of identification may also be accepted if the identification shows that the voter is who they claim to be. This applies even if the identification has expired. 

Exceptions at institutions  

For voters residing at institutions such as healthcare facilities and prisons, there may be cases where the voter does not have identification available. In such cases, an employee of the institution can confirm the voter's identity if the employee can provide identification for themselves.
