Which document is often shown for voting?

Correct answer: Identity card

The correct answer is A: an identity card. At a polling station, election officials need to verify that the person presenting himself or herself is the registered voter named in the electoral record. An accepted identity document can help establish that identity, subject to the election rules and documents allowed for that election. B, a book, does not normally prove who the voter is. C, a receipt, usually proves a transaction rather than voter identity. D, a notebook is simply for writing and has no normal role in identity verification. The exact document requirements may vary, so one should follow the official instructions for the particular election. Memory cue: identity proof answers the question ‘Who is this voter?’
