What do I need to bring to the polls in Wisconsin?
As of 2015, all voters are required to provide photo identification at the polls (as required by 2011 Wisconsin Act 23). Acceptable documents include these photo IDs:
Wisconsin driver’s license or other ID issued by the Wisconsin DMV
U.S. Passport
Military ID
Certificate of Naturalization (no more than two years old)
ID issued by a Wisconsin Indian tribe
Veteran’s Health Administration ID
Some student IDs (must have an issue date, an expiration date no more than two years old, a signature, and a photo)
In most cases, you must provide a photo ID at the polls. There are two exemptions:
Victims of domestic abuse, stalking or sexual assault who have a confidential listing
Individuals who have religious objections to having their photo taken
If you register at the polls and do not have a valid ID, you can vote via provisional ballot. You will then have the opportunity to provide your ID to election officials at the polls or your municipal clerk by 4:00 on the Friday after election day.
What special accommodations are available?
Voters indefinitely confined by illness, disability, infirmity, or age, may request permanent absentee voter status. This includes individuals residing in elder care, assisted living, and nursing home facilities.
If you need help marking your ballot, you may be accompanied to the voting booth by someone who is not your employer or union representative.
