The voting document is a valid passport of a Latvian citizen or identity card of a Latvian citizen (eID card). This time, voters who only have an identity card but no valid passport will be able to easily participate in the elections, as the voter register will be used for the registration of voters for the first time in the parliamentary elections and the passport will not be stamped for participation in the elections. Therefore, voters who only have an ID card will not need a voter’s card to participate in the elections.
