The Photo ID requirements in Virginia have changed every year since 2013 and many voters are simply unsure what ID is acceptable; and many stay home.

This year Employer ID cards have been added as acceptable Photo ID (with or without expiration dates) and we expect that some voters will be challenged when they attempt to use their employee ID cards; unfortunately some will believe that they misunderstood the rules and will either accept a provisional ballot or simply go home.

Virginia voters (especially newly registered ones) need to have an official listing of acceptable Photo ID; the VoteRiders, laminated, wallet-size card helps them stand up to challenges by uninformed poll workers.

If you are registering voters, delivering voter information packets or simply want to join us at community events to distribute these free voter information cards, complete the form and let us know how many cards you need (from a few hundred to several thousand) and how you plan to distribute them. Cards are available in English and Spanish. If you need cards in another language, let us know what language, how many you need and we will work with you.

We can't have voters turned away because of a technicality when they show up to vote.
