Voter ID: Driver license and ID card receipts are accepted photo ID at the polls

People who have a receipt for a Wisconsin driver license or ID card and have not yet received their driver license or ID card in the mail should know that those receipts can be used as photo identification at the polls. Receipts serve as driver licenses and ID cards until the actual cards arrive in the mail – usually less than two weeks. This is important to know because the state legislature recently passed a law that requires people to present a photo ID when voting, and there continues to be some confusion about what is needed when casting a ballot. Wisconsin state driver licenses and ID cards are probably the most common forms of photo ID that can be used to vote, but many forms are acceptable – including driver license and ID card receipts.
