No. A voter ID card is only proof of registration. What is the rule about convicted felons and voting? The Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania ruled on December 26, 2000 that the Pennsylvania law prohibiting convicted felons from registering to vote for five years after their release from prison is unconstitutional. Consequently, if completing an older version of the Voter Registration Mail Application (VRMA) form, a convicted felon who has been released from prison may make application to register to vote by striking through the felony conviction line at Section 9(2) on the VRMA and signing his or her name. Do I need to present identification to vote? All first time voters, including those who are voting in a new precinct for the first time, will be required to present identification. These acceptable forms include: • A valid Pennsylvania drivers license. • A valid identification card issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or United States government, including the Armed Services.
