 Area residents who need to register to vote in Wisconsin should remember that their Wisconsin Driver’s License number is an important key to voter registration.

 Federal law now requires voters who have a driver’s license to use the number from that license for the registration process.  In the new Statewide Voter Registration System (SVRS), the driver’s license number used on the voter registration form will be cross-checked with Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) records to make sure that the person listed with that number is the same person who registered to vote.

 Voters who register or re-register in their clerk’s office, by mail, or at the polling place on Election Day will be asked to list their driver’s license number on the registration form.  Local election officials do not have to see the driver’s license or check it, but will require any voter with a Wisconsin license to use the license number to register.  (However, to use a driver’s license to prove a voter’s residence, a poll worker must see the license.)

 For voters who do not have a driver’s license, the number from a state DOT-issued ID card or the last four digits of a voter’s Social Security number can also be used to fulfill the federal requirement.  People who use false identification numbers to register to vote can be prosecuted.

 In rare cases, Wisconsinites do not have a driver’s license, state ID or a Social Security number.  However, they may still register to vote.  Those voters must check a box on the voter registration form that attests that they have none of the three and turn in the form, and will need to provide additional documents to prove proof of residency.

 Voters with questions about Wisconsin voter registration and use of the driver’s license number should contact the City of South Milwaukee Clerk’s Office at 414 762-2222 or see the State Elections Division website at www.elections.wi.gov
