You will need to show a photo ID to verify your identity when you vote.

Common acceptable photo IDs include:

Your photo ID for voting DOES NOT need to show your current/voting address.  You will prove residency when you register to vote. 

If you forget your photo ID on election day, you can still vote! Ask for a provisional ballot and then bring your ID to the polling location by 8pm or your municipal clerk's office by the following Friday at 4pm.
