Early On-Campus Voting and New Option for Student Voter I.D.

Get out there and vote—and don’t forget to wear a mask! If you haven’t yet, you can also register to vote at these early voting sites. Just bring a proof of residence document along with you if you plan on registering.

1. Students, check your I.D. 

You’re ready to vote if you have one of these forms of photo I.D. (the address on your I.D. does not matter):

  • A valid Wisconsin driver’s license
  • Wisconsin state I.D.
  • U.S. passport
  • U.S. Uniformed Services card
  • Veterans Affairs I.D.
  • Tribal I.D.
  • Or Certificate of Naturalization 

If you don’t have one of the above, you can now download and print the UW–Madison voting-compliant I.D. This is the same I.D. that is provided by the Wiscard Office in Union South, now available virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Visit voterid.wisc.edu. (Need a printer? Make an appointment on campus)

Remember, your Wiscard student I.D. cannot be used for voting. Visit vote.wisc.edu for more info.
