• Voter confirmation documents you received after you registered to vote
• United States passport
• Employer-issued photo ID

• Student ID issued by a U.S. school of higher education or a public or private high school in Virginia

If you forget your ID on Election Day, you can sign an identity confirmation statement or vote a provisional ballot in the polling place. The election officials will tell you what you need to do for the provisional ballot to be counted.
