MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A federal judge has issued an order allowing people who lack photo identification to vote in November.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman in Milwaukee issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday that allows people who haven't been able to obtain IDs to vote if they sign an affidavit stating why they couldn't get identification.
Watch: Voter ID Law goes into effect on February 15 election:
Adelman said in the injunction the affidavit option won't be in place for the Aug. 9 primary, saying elections officials don't have time to implement it by then, but will be in place for the Nov. 8 general election.
The American Civil Liberties Union and the National Law Center for Homelessness and Poverty filed a motion asking for the injunction in June.
Officials with the state Justice Department didn't immediately respond to a message.
