#Wisconsin: What to know about April's #VoterID ballot referendum

By: Emilee Fannon, Mar 27, 2025

MADISON, Wis. (CBS 58) -- "Voters will not only have to present a #PhotoID to vote on April 1, but they'll also be asked about adding that requirement to the state constitution.

"It's part of a constitutional amendment that will appear on ballots across the state.

"The ballot referendum asks voters, 'shall section 1m of article III of the constitution be created to require that voters present valid photographic identification verifying their identity in order to vote in any election, subject to exceptions which may be established by law?'

"A 'yes' vote would enshrine Wisconsin's voter requirement in the state constitution, a move that would make it harder for a court to strike down the law or for lawmakers to repeal.

"Voting 'no' would not add the state's voter ID law to the constitution.

"If the ballot measure is approved or rejected, little would change for Wisconsin voters because the existing photo ID law has been on the books for nearly a decade, said Bryna Godar at the State Democracy Research Initiative at the University of Wisconsin Law School.

"However, #Republican lawmakers who authored the amendment say it's designed to protect the law from legal challenges in wake of the state Supreme Court gaining a 4-3 #LiberalMajority in 2023."

Good Morning, all

So our Second-Past-The-Post Prime Minister has finally called a General Election. But will Mr Tetchy (hear his #R4Today interview) now rush to get the Commons to change our electoral laws to a Second-Past-The-Post system?

You can't vote the Tories out unless you vote; not registered to vote?

Yet another reason to ditch the Nastiz: their gerrymandering US import requiring you now have #PhotoID to cast your vote:

And a reminder - thanks to gerrymandering by the Nastiz you will now have to show #PhotoID to vote in person.

The acceptable forms of Photo-ID are listed on the link below.

Young voters (like me, born in the '50s) should be aware that the Conservatives have declared a Young Person's Oyster Card, Bus Pass or Railcard is *not* a valid form of ID for voting.

You now know who not to vote for...

mas.toPhilip C James (@PhilipCJames@mas.to)Good Morning, all It's been almost two years since Rishi Sunak became our Second-Past-The-Post Prime Minister and he's still too frit to secure his own mandate for things like his Rwanda Transportation policy by calling a #GeneralElectionNow but don't worry, be happy - today most of us get to vote in local, mayoral and/or PCC elections. Perhaps public health officials should issue a new triple-3-word slogan to Conservative voters: STAY AT HOME DON'T VOTE TORY PROTECT THE NHS #LBC #R4Today

While the intention behind introducing photo ID for elections is clearly meant to benefit the Tories it could well have unintended consequences

And to be clear. Voter suppression is always wrong. Everyone should have the right to vote

Just voted & discovered that you can make an official complaint about requirement for photo ID at the vote - election officers will take down your complaint, name & address & pass it to the elections teams... so please folks - have your say!

Please, if you do this, be kind to election staff- they're doing a thankless task & are likely to get a lot of trouble today. If you have to wait when it's busy, wait kindly.

The election folks are not those at fault!!

In the post this morning...

1. A #CouncilTax (aka #PollTax) bill for the year ahead, with a 5.1% increase to £2631.70. Thanks, #Hertfordshire!

2. The bollocks attached, telling us that we now need #PhotoID to vote.

My own vote, in both local and parliamentary elections, is utterly wasted given that we are surrounded by the Tory-voting waking dead. Yet off I dutifully go to the polling station.

[sigh]
