For Release: Thursday - August 10, 2017
With just a few short weeks before students return to their public universities and private colleges in the state, this is a good time for them to make sure they are ready to vote in Wisconsin.
Remember, everyone needs a specific type of photo ID to vote in Wisconsin.
The next opportunity to cast a ballot is approaching sooner than you might think.
Wisconsin's Spring Primary is on February 20, 2018 – followed by the Spring Election on April 3, 2018 – when we will choose a new State Supreme Court Justice, two Court of Appeals Judges, and Circuit Court Judges.
If you value the integrity of our state's judicial system, mark your calendar with these two important dates, and then get ready to vote now so you're not scrambling later.
The Spring judicial elections will be followed soon by elections for Governor of Wisconsin, the State Legislature, U.S. Senator, and members of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Three Things College Students Need to Do To Vote in Wisconsin
Students will find straightforward information on registering to vote and voter photo ID. If students have a Wisconsin driver's license or Department of Transportation-issued Wisconsin ID card, then they already have an ID acceptable for voting. But, if they don't have one of these forms of ID, we provide information on alternative IDs for voting, including if the standard student ID at their school can be used to vote – and if it cannot be used at the polls, how and where to get an acceptable school-issued "voter ID" if their school offers one.
We will continually update this resource as new information is received or changes. So please check back often. And share this link widely with anyone you know who is attending a college, university or technical school in Wisconsin!
Get this done now, so you won't have to worry about it later.
