How does the voter ID requirement affect me if I vote with an absentee ballot?
 
Answer:
You are not required to show photo ID if you vote by absentee ballot. However, please note that a person who registers to vote by mail must vote in person in the first election in which he or she participates. The restriction does not apply to voters who are overseas, disabled or 60 years of age or older. (Voting in person on one governmental level clears the restriction on the other levels. For example, if a voter subject to the restriction votes in person at a school election, the voter would be free to obtain an absentee ballot for the first state election in which he or she wishes to participate.)
