Do I need a photo ID to vote in Kentucky? Yes. 

You'll need to bring a photo ID with you following a new law the Republican-run state legislature passed in 2020 that requires voters to show photo identification at the polls. 

Your Kentucky driver's license is sufficient, and so are military, college and Kentucky government IDs. You also can get a free, state-issued ID card if you're at least 18 years old. (Those are available at local circuit court clerk's and regional driver's license offices.)

If you don't have one, you can sign a special form at the polls and show poll workers one of these cards instead:

You also could get your identity confirmed if you personally know an election officer.
