What's new with the new Voter ID Law?

 

http://gab.wi.gov/elections-voting/photo-id

 

  • Beginning in 2012, you cannot receive a ballot until you have met ID requirements. Wisconsin does not issue a separate "Voter ID" card. Instead you must use one of the photo IDs listed below.
  • YOUR PHOTO ID DOES NOT NEED TO SHOW A CURRENT ADDRESS.

Acceptable Forms of Photo IDs: these IDs may not have expired earlier than the date of the last November election

  • Wisconsin driver license
  • Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT)-issued photo ID card
  • U.S. Passport
  • Military ID card 

Other Acceptable Forms of Photo IDs:

  • The Certificate of Naturalization issued within the last two years.
  • Unexpired Wisconsin driver license or state ID receipt.
  • ID card issued by a federally recognized Indian Tribe in Wisconsin.
  • Unexpired ID issued by a Wisconsin accredited university or college that contains an issuance date, student signature, and expiration date within two years of issuance, along with a separate document showing proof of current enrollment.

If you are eligible to vote but do not have an acceptable ID, you may obtain a FREE ID for purposes of voting. Please visit http://gab.wi.gov and click "Voter Photo ID" for more information.


At the Polls ...

 

Remember the 3 S's:

 

1. State Your Name

2. Show Your ID

3. Sign the Poll Book
