Still Time to Get Free Voter ID in Wisconsin, DMV Explains Process

MADISON, Wis. (Civic Media) — Voting in Wisconsin requires an ID and there’s still time to get one if needed. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has outlined steps for voters to get identification for use at polling places.

State law mandates that voters show an ID, however the DMV says there is no separate “voter ID” and a federally compliant REAL ID is not necessary for voting purposes.
