Voters must present an acceptable form of photo ID before receiving an absentee ballot. Out-of-state driver licenses, out-of-state ID cards, faculty ID cards, and high school ID cards are not acceptable forms of voter identification under Wisconsin law.

The address on your ID does not matter when proving identity. The name on the ID, however, must reasonably conform to the name on the poll book.

The Dane County Voter ID Coalition is available to help voters apply for a free Wisconsin ID card. They can even set up a free cab ride to the DMV. The Dane County Voter ID Coalition hotline is (608) 285-2141.

For voters who have yet to return the absentee ballot they received in the mail, we highly suggest returning your ballot in one of the following ways to make sure it is received in time to be counted on Election Day:

  • Bring the ballot to any of our absentee ballot drop-off sites. A poll worker will be available onsite to serve as a witness, if needed.
  • Drop off the ballot, sealed in its signed certificate envelope, at the Clerk’s Office or any City of Madison absentee voting site;
  • Ask a friend or neighbor to deliver the ballot, sealed in its signed certificate envelope, to the appropriate polling place on Election Day; or,
  • Destroy the absentee ballot and vote in-person instead.
