How to Vote in Wisconsin

ID is required to vote in Wisconsin.

You will also need to show ID if you plan to register and vote on the same day.

Valid forms of ID include:
– A Wisconsin DOT-issued driver license, even your driving privileges have been revoked or suspended, with or without a star in the right-hand corner
– A Wisconsin DOT-issued identification card, with or without a star in the right-hand corner
– Military ID card issued by a U.S. uniformed service
– U.S. passport
– An identification card issued by a federally recognized Indian tribe in Wisconsin (may be used even if expired before the most recent general election)
– A student ID issued by a Wisconsin accredited university or college that contains a photo, the date it was issued, your signature and the expiration date is not more than 2 years from the date it was issued. If your student ID is expired, then you must also provide by a separate document that proves current enrollment.
– An unexpired veteran’s photo identification card issued by the Veterans Health Administration
– An unexpired certificate of naturalization that was issued within the last two years before the election
– A driving receipt issued by Wisconsin DOT (valid for 45 days)
– An identification card receipt issued by Wisconsin DOT (valid for 45 days)

The address on your ID does not have to be current and the name on your ID does not need to be an exact match for your name in the poll book (nicknames are okay).

If you do not have any of the above forms of ID you may be able to vote provisionally.
