Voters will be required to provide identification that will prove their identity and their address.

If the identification does not include proof of address, the applicant must also provide documentation proving residential address e.g. a utility bill less than 30 days old, bank statement, property tax bill, paycheck, naturalization documents or a recent passport that includes the address.
