You Can Get a Last-Minute Photo ID to Vote

People can still obtain a valid ID for to vote, even if you procrastinate until the last minute.

Forty-eight PennDOT Driver Licensing Centers, normally closed on Mondays,
will be open on Monday, Nov. 5, the day before Election Day, to better serve
customers with last-minute Voter ID needs.

Locally, the Lehigh Valley location on Airport Road in Allentown will be open Monday, Nov. 5, Penn DOT said.

In recent months, PennDOT has worked closely with the American Federation
of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), the union representing its
Driver Licensing Center employees, to reach this agreement.

“I applaud the efforts of AFSCME to work with us on this important effort,”
said PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch. “Our employees have been working
tirelessly to be certain that any Pennsylvanian who needs an ID for voting
purposes has it, and efforts like this show our commitment to getting the
job done.”

Since the passage of the law in March, PennDOT has been working
aggressively to make the voting ID process as customer-friendly as possible. Two major milestones include working with the Pennsylvania Department of Health to facilitate a process for customers who do not have a birth certificate with a raised seal, and extending hours at five Driver License Centers in
Philadelphia
County.

PennDOT and its partners at the Pennsylvania Departments of State and
Health are dedicated to delivering on Gov. Tom Corbett’s commitment that every
eligible voter has an opportunity to obtain the photo identification needed
to vote.
