Friday

we only need to show an ID if voting "in person" for the very first time and/or if changing voting division due to a move, and voting in that polling place for the first time. If requesting an absentee ballot (either "no excuse" or as a regular absentee), then some kind of ID verification is required (driver's license number or last 4 digits of SS#) to apply for a ballot.

After that when voting, no ID is needed and the voter still needed to sign-in before voting (I'm guessing with signature check as I stopped doing in person during the pandemic in 2020 and haven't done in person since). I know they updated to using the electronic poll books after I stopped in-person voting and I think that is how people now sign in (used to be big binders with pages of names and a line to sign).
