Photo ID. Wisconsin
law requires voters to show an acceptable photo ID to vote at the polling place. A list of acceptable IDs can be found at
www.bringitwisconsin.com/ If a voter does not have an acceptable photo ID, a free Photo ID for Voting can be obtained from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV): 844-588-1069 or wisconsindot.gov.
Voters who are indefinitely confined (meaning you have trouble getting to your polling place due to age, illness, infirmity, or disability), or who reside in nursing homes or other residential facilities, are
not required to provide a photo ID.
|
|
Do you always need to absentee vote due to disability, age, or illness? You can complete an absentee ballot application
and choose the “indefinitely confined” option on
MyVote.wi.gov or in section 6 on the
Wisconsin Application for Absentee Ballot. Indefinitely confined voters will continue to receive ballots for each election until the voter doesn’t return a ballot. If this occurs, the municipal clerk will contact the voter
to see if they want to remain on the indefinitely confined voter list. Call your municipal clerk to learn more, or
complete an Absentee Ballot Application.
