What should I bring to the polling station?

Kentucky requires voters to show identification before voting, The Courier Journal reported. Acceptable forms of identification include:

If you do not have a valid photo ID, you can still vote, but you will need to fill out a voter verification form at your polling location and provide another form of identification, such as a Social Security card, a card showing your name and photo, or an Electronic Benefit Transfer or SNAP card showing your name.

It’s worth noting, however, that a new law passed by the Kentucky General Assembly in March eliminated Social Security and SNAP cards as acceptable alternatives, although that change doesn’t take effect until July, so both cards remain valid for today’s primary.
