You will need to bring a government-issued ID that has your picture, name and current address on it. If you don’t have one with all three, you can bring multiple as long as all the required information is available, or you could bring a utility bill. The third option is for those that don’t have ID. You can still vote if you declare your identify and address in writing and have someone who knows you and is also voting at your polling station vouch for you. That person has to prove their identity as well.
