What to bring to the polls on Monday

AUSTIN (KXAN) - Early voting for the November election begins on Monday, and although the state's Voter ID law is still in jeopardy, a voter must show some type of identification at the polls to vote.

According to the Secretary of State's office, you can still vote if you have lost or misplaced your voter certificate. You can present voter identification and sign an affidavit at the polls. That is allowed if your voter registration is current and your name appears on the voter rolls in the county where you reside.

Early voting starts on Monday and runs through Nov. 2. College students, and those who may have a permanent residence in another county, can vote at Travis County during early voting. On election day, however, you can only vote in the precinct where you are registered to vote.

Acceptable forms of identification include a driver's license or personal identification card; a form of identification that includes a photograph and establishes your identity; a birth certificate or other document confirming birth; United States citizenship papers issued to you; a United States passport issued to you; official mail addressed to you, by name, from a governmental entity; or a current copy of a utility bill, bank statement or paycheck that shows your name and address.
