TANF program ID card, W.Va. Medicaid card, bank or debit card, utility bill or bank statement within six months of election, health insurance card issued to voter, W.Va. driver’s license or other W.Va. ID card, driver’s license issued by another state, U.S. passport or passport card, military ID card issued by U.S., U.S. or W.Va. government employee ID card, student ID card, concealed carry permit.

Three exemptions to the ID law: a sworn, written statement by an adult who has known the voter for at least six months; a poll worker knows the voter; and residents of state care facilities.
