The Spring Primary in Wisconsin is scheduled for Tuesday, February 18. Wisconsin’s Department of Transportation says driver licenses or IDs are the most common form of identification used for voting purposes.
WisDOT is encouraging voters to make sure they have the proper identification needed to vote in this month’s primary. WisDOT states in a news release that a federally-compliant REAL ID card is not required for voting purposes.
To see if a card meets the requirements, visit the Wisconsin Elections Commission website.
Voters looking to get their first Wisconsin ID can turn to DMV for help. Voters need to check their documentation requirements to get an official ID card.
If all documentation isn’t available, the ID Petition Process can be used to get a receipt valid for voting while the remaining documents or verifications are obtained.
DMV offers this service and ID cards for voting purposes free of charge. DMV’s toll-free Voter ID hotline at (844) 588-1069is available for questions on obtaining an ID to vote.
DMV’s website has a locator to help find the nearest DMV and check wait times.
