What to bring for voting depends on your location, but generally, you need to bring some form of identification. Here is a summary based on different regions:

United States

• Most states require voters to bring identification to vote in person. The type of ID accepted varies by state.
• Common acceptable IDs include:
  • Current and valid photo ID such as a driver's license, state ID, or passport.
  • Other forms like a birth certificate, Social Security card, utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or a government-issued document showing your name and address.
• If you are a registered voter, you do not necessarily need to bring your voter registration card, but it can be used as ID.
• If you do not have the required ID, some states allow you to sign a form affirming your identity or cast a provisional ballot, which may require you to return with acceptable ID later.
• First-time voters who did not show ID when registering and did not register in person must show ID on Election Day.
• In Texas, if you lack the required photo ID, you can bring documents like a utility bill or bank statement and fill out a form stating your identity and difficulty obtaining ID to vote a regular ballot

United Kingdom

• Photo ID is required to vote at polling stations.
• Accepted forms of photo ID include:
  • Passports (UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories)
  • Driving licenses (UK, EEA states)
  • Blue Badge, various government-issued travel passes, and identity cards with photos.
  • Other government-issued documents like Biometric Immigration Documents or Ministry of Defence cards.
• Only one original form of photo ID is needed; photocopies or digital versions are generally not accepted unless it is an eVisa

Ireland

• Bring a valid form of ID to your assigned polling station.
• Acceptable IDs include passports, driving licenses, employee or student ID cards with photos, travel documents with photos, bank or savings books with address, or a Public Services Card.
• Other documents like cheque books, credit cards, birth or marriage certificates can be used if accompanied by a document establishing your address in the constituency

Australia

• Voters typically need to bring identification to the polling place, but specific ID requirements were not detailed in the search results.

Summary

• Check your local or state election authority's website for the specific ID requirements before voting.
• Bring a valid photo ID if required.
• If you lack photo ID, bring alternative documents like utility bills or bank statements and be prepared to sign an affidavit or cast a provisional ballot if allowed.

This ensures you are prepared and can vote without issues on Election Day
