However, in many states, there are a variety of alternatives to the traditional driver&rsquo;s license. <\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the most unorthodox approved alternatives to a typical state-issued ID that voters can use in the 36 states that have a form of those laws.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Student IDs<\/h2>\n<p>While young voters are less likely to vote than their older counterparts, students in multiple states can use their valid student ID to prove their identity when casting their ballots.<\/p>\n<p>The states that allow student IDs to be used to satisfy the voter ID requirement include Alabama, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>In Indiana, only IDs from state schools may be used, while in Wyoming, only IDs from the University of Wyoming, state community colleges, or public schools may be used. In Iowa, a student ID may be used along with another document to prove a voter&rsquo;s current address.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sos.nh.gov\/elections\/election-laws\/voter-identification-law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"New Hampshire\">New Hampshire<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsbe.gov\/voting\/voter-id\/student-and-public-employee-ids-approved-voting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"New Hampshire\">North Carolina<\/a>, the student ID card must be approved by the state election board. Approved IDs for both states can be found on each state&rsquo;s website.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Digital IDs<\/h2>\n<p>While an ID card or paper is typically used to verify identity before casting a vote, a form of digital ID has been approved for use in two states.<\/p>\n<p>In Louisiana, voters may use the LA Wallet digital driver&rsquo;s license as a valid form of voter ID. The mobile phone application offers a digital version of a resident&rsquo;s driver&rsquo;s license, per the Louisiana secretary of state.<\/p>\n<p>In North Carolina, a digital form of student ID has been approved for use to verify identity. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill&rsquo;s Mobile UNC One Card is one of the approved forms of voter ID being allowed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3161319\/north-carolina-judge-allows-virtual-student-ids-accepted-voting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"despite\">despite<\/a> a legal challenge from Republicans.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">FILE &ndash; A Super Tuesday voter walks past a sign requiring a photo ID at a polling location, March 5, 2024, in Mount Holly, North Carolina.

The bus pass qualifies as an &ldquo;ID card issued by the US government or State of Rhode Island,&rdquo; according to the Rhode Island secretary of state.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Concealed weapon permit<\/h2>\n<p>In various states, firearm permits are considered legal forms of voter ID.<\/p>\n<p>In Arkansas, Florida, Kansas, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming, different types of firearm permits are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/media-take-their-bogus-voter-suppression-narrative-to-college\/\" title=\"Media Take Their Bogus \u2018Voter Suppression\u2019 Narrative To College\">considered valid forms<\/a> of voter ID.
