Voter ID update

Friday, the Voter ID law was reinstated by a federal court based on some small changes to how the state issues IDs. At this point, it is fairly certain that Voter ID will be in place for the elections on November 4.

What do you need to know in order to vote?

If you need an ID card, you can go to the DMV.

At the DMV you will need to fill out two forms: one to request a free ID and one to start the verification process:

Bring what you can to prove your name and date of birth. The ACLU of Wisconsin is recommending bringing:

  • Baptismal records
  • Hospital birth records
  • Delayed birth certificates
  • Census records
  • Early school records
  • Family bible records
  • Doctor’s record of post-natal care

You will also need to bring documents to prove your identity and your residency/current address. See the full list of things you need from the ACLU at

PLEASE CONTACT THE ACLU OF WISCONSIN IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS GETTING AN ID.
