CEC: No need for ID in absentee ballot

Tag: Commonwealth Election Commission, ID

The Commonwealth Election Commission has clarified that absentee voters do not need to attach a copy of picture identification, or ID, with their absentee ballot. The absentee packet introductory letter that was sent out with absentee ballots states that the absentee voter must submit a copy of picture identification when returning their ballot, but this was an inadvertent and incorrect statement.

The commission will count absentee ballots that are received on time and that include the sealed ballot and the executed affidavit as required under 1 CMC Section 6212 and 6213.

If you have any questions and/or concern regarding absentee ballot process, do not hesitate to contact the Commonwealth Election Commission at (670)235-VOTE (8683). (CEC)
