Steps to Obtain an ID to Vote in the Spring Primary

Submitted by admin on Wed, 02/12/2020 - 7:49am

Most Wisconsin voters already have some form of ID needed to vote, including a Wisconsin driver license or ID. There is no separate “voter ID” and a federally-compliant REAL ID card is not required for voting purposes. The Wisconsin Elections Commission explains the acceptable options to bring to the polls on its website.
The first stop for voters looking to get their first Wisconsin ID should be the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website at wisconsindmv.gov/idcards.

This was the week of big returns, with both Mark Losenegger and Dean Disch reappearing on the Euchre scene. Welcome back gentlemen! With their teams, the Pipe Benders and the Cowboys, respectively, struggling in the second half with just one win each, the return of Mark and Dean was greeted with much anticipation.
