Are driver's licenses and IDs required to vote in New York?

In New York, photo ID is required in certain cases for voting, making this the correct choice. Specifically, while most voters do not need to show ID to vote, there are specific situations where providing identification is necessary. For instance, voters who are newly registered or those who are voting for the first time may be asked to show some form of identification. This can include a photo ID or other acceptable forms of identification, which helps to ensure the integrity of the voting process.

The other options do not accurately represent the ID requirements. Not all voters need ID, hence stating that IDs are needed in all cases would be incorrect. Saying that no ID is required overlooks the stipulations for first-time voters, and suggesting that only a birth certificate is needed ignores the broader range of acceptable identification forms that the state recognizes.
