Make sure you have right ID to vote next week

MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Make sure you have the right ID to vote next week.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation reminds residents who don’t already have an approved photo ID for voting to start the process of getting one now. Wisconsin does not issue a separate voter ID, and a REAL ID is not required to vote. Residents can check accepted forms of identification through the Wisconsin Elections Commission website.

Those needing a Wisconsin ID can begin online at wisconsindmv.gov, gather required documents, and apply at a DMV service center. If a permanent ID isn’t ready before Election Day, eligible voters can obtain a free receipt valid for voting.
