If you do not have one of these IDs, and require one for voting
purposes, you may be entitled to get one FREE OF CHARGE at a PennDOT
Driver License Center. To find the Driver License Center nearest you, and learn
what supporting documentation you will need to get a photo ID visit PennDOT's Voter ID
Website or call the Department of State's Voter ID Hotline at
1-877-VotesPA (868-3772).
NO ONE legally entitled to vote will be denied the right to do so. If you do not have a photo ID, or are indigent and unable to obtain one without payment of a fee, you may cast a provisional ballot, and will have six days to provide your photo ID and/or an affirmation to your county elections office to have your ballot count. If you have a religious objection to being photographed you can still vote by presenting a valid without-photo driver’s license or a valid without-photo ID card issued by PennDOT.
If you plan on voting by Absentee Ballot on the November 6, 2012 General Election, you will need to provide proof of identification.
