The requirements for what you need to bring to vote depend on the state you are voting in. Each state sets its own voter ID rules, and most require voters to bring identification to vote in person. Some states may ask you to show a photo ID like a drivers license, state ID, or passport, while others may ask to see another form of identification like your voter registration card, birth certificate, or Social Security card. In New Jersey, registered voters do not need to provide an ID when they vote, except for some first-time voters. If it is your first time voting in a federal election in New Jersey, you should see the federal ID requirements for first-time voters.
