Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) reminds voters to check and be sure you have the proper identification needed to vote in the Spring Primary Election on February 17.

Wisconsin driver licenses or IDs are the most common form of identification used for voting purposes. A federally compliant REAL ID card is not required to show at the polls. The Wisconsin Elections Commission notes other forms of identification are valid for voting, such as military or student ID cards. To see if a card meets the requirements, visit the Wisconsin Elections Commission website.

 If you are in need of identification, begin online to see a list of the required documents that are needed to present at a DMV Customer Service Center in order to obtain identification to show at the polls at wisconsindmv.gov/idcards. A process is available to U.S. citizens, free of charge, to obtain a receipt valid to take to the polls for voting if the ID card is not available in time.
