Lake Country Tribune

(The Center Square) – Wisconsin voters will have a choice on the April 1 ballot to create a state constitutional requirement to produce valid photo identification for elections.

Heading into the Feb. 18 spring primary, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is informing voters that they can obtain free identification ahead of voting.

There is not a separate voter ID but residents can use a driver’s license, identification card, military or student ID card at the polls if the referendum passes. A REAL ID is not required.

The department asks residents to bring proof of name and birth date, proof of identity with a signature or photo, proof of Wisconsin residency and proof of U.S. residency or legal residency status.

The full list of acceptable documents can be found on the department website.

Questions related to obtaining an ID that can be used to vote can call DMV’s toll-free hotline at 844-588-1069.
