Wisconsin Voter ID<\/h1><\/header>\n\n\n

If 51ÁÔÆæ students do not have a valid Wisconsin Photo ID or Driver\u2019s License, they can request a Student Voter ID. This is a separate ID from your Panthercard that contains an expiration date and is approved for use to vote. Students can obtain a Voting ID for free<\/strong> at the Panthercard Office<\/a> located in the 51ÁÔÆæ Student Union E151, on the campus level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registered voters must present an acceptable form of identification at their polling place. Acceptable forms of ID include a valid Wisconsin driver\u2019s license, Wisconsin state ID, U.S. passport, U.S. Uniformed Services card, Veterans Affairs ID, tribal ID or Certificate of Naturalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a full list of acceptable and unacceptable Wisconsin Voter IDs, visit Bring It To the Ballot<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Does the address on my ID need to match my current address?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No, the address on your ID does not matter. The purpose of presenting your ID at the polls is to prove your identity. Poll workers only check the ID photo, name and expiration date.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

\n

What if I don\u2019t have an acceptable form of photo ID?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Students at the Milwaukee campus<\/strong> can get a free voter ID card at Panther Card Office<\/a>, Student Union (ground floor, across from the Panther Shop by Taco Bell).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
