PRICE COUNTY PRIMARY BALLOT PREVIEW AND MOST COMMON FORMS OF ID TO USE FOR VOTING


The Spring 2022 Primary will be held on February 15, 2022.  The Phillips School District Area 2 and Butternut School District races will be on the ballot.

   

Wisconsin driver's licenses or IDs are the most common form of identification used for voting purposes.  Wisconsin Department of Transportation Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) encourages voters to check and be sure that they have the proper identification needed to vote in the spring primary.  A federally-compliant REAL ID card is not required for voting purposes.  Anyone who doesn't have an ID to vote in the spring primary should start the process now.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission notes other forms of identification, such as military or student ID cards, are valid for voting purposes.  To see if a card meets the requirements, visit the Wisconsin Elections Commission website.

Voters looking to get their first Wisconsin ID can turn to DMV for help.  To obtain an official ID card, there are documentation requirements such as a birth certificate.  If all documentation is not readily available, the ID Petition Process can be used to obtain a receipt valid for voting while the remaining documents or verifications are obtained.  The DMV offers this service and ID cards for voting purposes free of charge.  The DMV's toll-free Voter ID hotline, (844) 588-1069, is available for questions on obtaining an ID to vote.
