In response to the new Wisconsin Voter ID law that requires voters to present valid state-issued photo identification at the polls, the Union South's Wiscard office will distribute UW-Madison voter ID cards to those who present a valid Wiscard.
The Wiscard office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.,but will offer extended hours on Monday, Jan. 23 from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The UW-Madison voter ID cards are marked "VOTER IDENTIFICATION" and expire two years from the issued date.
In addition to a voter ID, students are required to present proof of enrollment at polling stations. Students can obtain a self-service Enrollment Verification letter from the StudentCenter at MyUW, which can be used as proof of residence for voter registration.
Students who are Wisconsin residents can use a state-issued driver's license, identification card or a passport to vote and do not need a UW-Madison voter ID.
The new requirements will be enforced beginning with the Feb. 21 spring primary.
