Voters must present an acceptable form of photo ID before receiving an absentee ballot. The following types of ID are accepted under state law:

• Wisconsin driver license expiring after November 8, 2016 (date of the last November election)
• Wisconsin photo ID issued by the Department of Transportation expiring after November 8, 2016
• U.S. passport (book or card) expiring after November 8, 2016
• Military ID card expiring after November 8, 2016
• Certificate of Naturalization issued within the last two years

• Unexpired Veterans Affairs ID card

Out-of-state driver licenses, out-of-state ID cards, faculty ID cards, and high school ID cards are not acceptable forms of voter ID under Wisconsin law.
 
The address on the voter’s ID does not matter for purposes of proving one’s identity. The name on the ID, however, must reasonably conform to the voter’s name on the poll book.
 
The February 21 ballot will have a primary for State Superintendent of Public Instruction and, for voters in the Madison Metropolitan School District, a primary for two school board member seats.
