The Dane County Board of Supervisors voted 32-2 in favor of a resolution for UW-Madison to modify their student ID cards to have a two year expiration date to comply with voter ID criteria.
Currently, students at UW-Madison cannot use their Wiscards for voting purposes. While in-state students can use their government issued driver’s licenses, out-of-state students do not have a readily available ID to take to the polls, as out-of-state driver’s licenses and other IDs are not valid voter IDs in the state of Wisconsin.
