Dear John,
As students head back to school, VoteRiders is here to help them understand if they need an ID to vote, and whether their student ID is sufficient.
This includes voters like Amani, an 18-year-old eager to cast her first ballot in Pennsylvania’s primary earlier this year.

During a lesson on civics, Amani’s twelfth-grade Social Studies teacher handed out VoteRiders’ Voter ID Information Cards — pocket-sized guides on Pennsylvania’s voter ID law and which forms of ID can be used to vote. On the back of the card, students found information on how to contact VoteRiders for free help getting an ID or any underlying documents needed, like a Social Security card or birth certificate.
Amani reached out for help through VoteRiders’ website and was quickly connected to a VoteRiders Voter ID Assistance Volunteer who helped her schedule an appointment at her local Department of Transportation office. The volunteer walked her through what other ID documents she’d need to bring, and covered the cost when her Pennsylvania state ID was finally ready to pick up.
“I think voting for the first time will be exciting and a chance for me to have my voice heard, potentially making a difference in some ways,” Amani said.
This back to school season, be sure to share our resources for student voters like Amani!

And remember, VoteRiders is always here to help any voter — student or not — get the information and free help they need to cast their ballot with confidence.
Sincerely,
Lauren Kunis
CEO and Executive Director
VoteRiders
P.S. VoteRiders always covers the fees associated with getting an ID, because we don’t think cost should be a barrier to voting. Chip in to help voters like Amani secure an ID to vote!
