Several different forms of identification are acceptable, including a Virginia Driver’s License, US Passport, Employee ID, and a student ID issued by a Virginia institution of higher learning. If you do not have one of those, read this much longer list ​from the Virginia Department of Elections to see what other IDs are valid for voting purposes.
