Wisconsin's very strict voter photo ID law is in effect for all 2016 elections, including the upcoming April 5th election in which a State Supreme Court Justice will be selected, voters' preferences for the Democratic and Republican candidates for the U.S. Presidency, and numerous important local offices and issues will be decided.
Students should confirm now if they already have a photo ID that is acceptable for voting on April 5th and beyond, culminating in the all-important November 8th election that will select a new U.S. President, a Wisconsin U.S. Senator, and numerous other Federal and State elected officials.
Common Cause in Wisconsin (CC/WI) reached out to all 64 of Wisconsin's colleges, universities and technical schools to help students determine the availability of a school-issued ID that could be used as a required photo ID at a polling place for those students who do not already have one of the other photo IDs acceptable for voting. They also collected information about where and what days and hours students could get a school-issued photo ID for voting, if one is offered, and provided additional voter photo ID education where needed.
Of the 64 institutions they contacted, all but one school, Gateway Technical College, provided definitive information.
