Student identification cards will be allowed under a new law that requires Wisconsin residents to show photo IDs at the polls to vote, the Associated Press reports. Many were concerned that campuses across the UW System would spend a good deal of time and money issuing new photo ID cards to students because the new law requires the expiration date to be no later than two years after the card was issued. Typically, when students register at a UW System school they are issued IDs that are valid for four or five years.
