Help! I need a translation into Spanish of a line for voting tomorrow

After calling voters this weekend and finding out that they WERE tricked by Pennsylvania's deceptive
adverstising into thinking they need a photo ID to vote, I have decided to plaster my van with signs
that say ' YOU DO NOT NEED I.D. TO VOTE IF YOU VOTED HERE BEFORE.
IF YOU ARE VOTING AT YOUR LOCATION FOR THE FIRST TIME, YOU DON'T NEED PICTURE I.D., SEE BELOW"

And then I am posting a listing of accepted identification, which includes both photo and non-photo id's.

A large number of the people in the poll where I will be poll-watching are Spanish-speaking only.
Unfortunately I took French in school and only learned a smattering of Spanish as a restaurant manager,
and that knowledge is spoken language only, nothing written.

Can someone please translate the above two lines into Spanish for me so that I can put that on posters in
my van windows?

And I need it ASAP since I have to get up at 530 am to get to the poll by 6:30 am. I just thought of doing this just now.

Thank you!

YOU DO NOT NEED I.D. TO VOTE IF YOU VOTED HERE BEFORE.

NO ES NECESARIO TENER IDENTIFICACION SI UD. HA VOTADO AQUI EN EL PASADO.



IF YOU ARE VOTING AT YOUR LOCATION FOR THE FIRST TIME, YOU DON'T NEED PICTURE I.D., SEE BELOW

SI UD. ESTA VOTANDO POR PRIMERA VEZ EN SU LUGAR DE VOTAR, NO NECESITA MOSTRAR IDENTIFICACION CON FOTO. VEASE ABAJO:

"Si ha votado aqui antes ahora, no necesita identificacion."
"Si esta votando a su lugar por la primera vez, no necesita identificacion con foto. Lea abajo para tipos de identificacion que aceptamos.""

"No necesita I.D. votar si usted votó aqui antes. Si usted está votando en su ubicación por primera vez, no necesita identificación con foto, véase más adelante:"


Good luck! I think it will get your message across!

Si usted voto antes aqui, no necesita presentar ID. Si esta votando en su localización por primera vez, no necesita ID con foto. Vea abajo :


I don't like " localización" but if not it would be too long. For example : Si esta votando aqui( here) por primera vez....
