The US 7th Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order in Frank v. Walker on September 12, 2014 permitting Wisconsin to enforce voter identification laws from 2011 Act 23 for the November 2014 election.

The Government Accountability Board (GAB) has information on voter photo ID requirements and how to get a free state ID card for voting on their Voter Photo ID Law information page.

These guides give additional practical information to voters about the ID requirement and voting process:

• Step by step guide to voting with a photo ID (GAB)
• Voter ID information, acceptable forms of photo ID (City of Madison)

If you need help, the GAB has a voter helpline available for those with questions: 1-866-VOTE-WIS (1-866-868-3947). You can also email your question to gab@wi.gov.
