Do I have to present my identity card at the polling station?
You are not explicitly required by law to show your identification at the polling station. Those who are listed in a voters’ register or have a polling card may vote. However, the electoral board may ask you to present your identification. If you have forgotten your voter’s notification, you will have to show your identity card.
