ID is required
to vote in Connecticut. Valid forms of ID include:
- Social security card
- Any pre-printed form of identification that shows your name and address, or name and signature, or name and photograph
If you go to your polling place without an approved form of ID as described above, you can vote a regular ballot by signing an affidavit in lieu of ID.
If you are a first time voter who registered by mail after January 1, 2003, and are voting for the first time in an primary/election with federal candidates on the ballot, and have a "mark" next to your name on the official registry list, you must present one of the following:
- A copy of a current and valid photo identification that shows your name and address
- A copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or government document that shows your name and address
If you are required to present the above ID at the polls and do not do so, you can vote a provisional ballot.
