UW–Madison Launches Voter ID Card, Voter Education Program
Parents can help encourage their students to learn about civic participation by registering and voting.
Recent changes in state law make it necessary for all Wisconsin voters to present a photo ID at the polls. Students who need a photo ID to can obtain a free UW–Madison voter ID card at the Wiscard office in Union South.
Students must present their current Wiscard to receive the supplemental card.
The UW–Madison voter ID card is clearly marked “VOTER IDENTIFICATION,” includes the student’s signature, and expires two years from the issuance date in compliance with a new state voting law. The card is not valid for any other purpose or service on the campus.
Students who are Wisconsin residents and have state-issued driver’s licenses or identification cards, or a passport are able to vote using those forms of identification and do not need the UW–Madison voter ID.
