Press Release from the Putnam County Board of Elections: When you go to vote for In-Person voting and Election Day, make sure you bring your identification. Acceptable identification includes:
· a current and valid photo identification (i.e. Ohio driver license, state ID card, government ID). Photo identification must include your name and address (does not need to be current address for driver license or state id card); or
· a military identification that shows your name, but not necessarily your address; or
· a copy of a current utility bill (including cell phone bill), bank statement, paycheck, government check, or other government document that shows your name and current address (including from a public college or university).
Please note that Ohio law provides you cannot use as proof of identification a notice that the board of elections mailed to you. Voters who do not provide one of these documents will still be able to vote by provisional ballot. For more information, please call your local county board of elections office, visit www.sos.state.oh.us, or call the Ohio Secretary of State.
