Wisconsin voters have overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment to enshrine the state’s voter ID requirement.
The amendment passed with approximately 70% support, reflecting a broad consensus among Wisconsinites on the importance of safeguarding elections.
Currently, Wisconsin requires voter photo identification via state law. By adding it to the state constitution, the threshold to make changes or remove the requirement would be higher than a legislative majority by requiring voter approval of another constitutional amendment to do so. State law requires the following forms of photo identification to vote:
- Wisconsin driver’s license,
- ID card issued by a U.S. uniformed service,
- Wisconsin nondriver ID,
- U.S. passport,
- Certificate of naturalization issued not more than two years before the election,
- ID card issued by a federally recognized Indian tribe in Wisconsin,
- Student ID card with a signature, an issue date, and an expiration date no later than two years after the election, or
- Photo ID card provided by the Veteran’s Health Administration.
Even 55% of WI dems supported it.
