(a) Before being allowed to vote, each voter shall exhibit to an election official one form of identification, including
(1) an official voter registration card, driver's license, state identification card, current and valid photo identification, birth certificate, passport, or hunting or fishing license; or
(2) an original or a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, government check, or other government document; an item exhibited under this paragraph must show the name and current address of the voter.
(b) An election official may waive the identification requirement if the election official knows the identity of the voter.
