In-person, absentee voting has begun for April election

 City officials say in-person absentee voting has begun for Madison residents at the City Clerk's Office, the Streets Division East location and at all Madison Public Library locations.

The final week before the April 4th Spring Election, absentee voting locations will expand to include Union South, Edgewood's Predolin Commons, and the UW-Madison Student Activity Center.

In February, voters set a new early voting record for that month's election. 

You can see a sample ballot online by going to https://MyVote.wi.gov and clicking on "What's On My Ballot."

According to City Clerk Maribeth Witzel-Behl, before receiving an absentee ballot, you'll need to show an acceptable form of photo ID.

She says for purposes of proving one's identity, the address on the voter's ID does not matter, but the name on the ID must reasonably conform to the voter's name on the poll book.

Under state law, the following forms of ID are accepted:

* Wisconsin driver license  

* Wisconsin photo ID issued by the Department of Transportation  

* U.S. passport (book or card) 

* Military ID card  

* Certificate of Naturalization issued within the last two years

* Unexpired Wisconsin driver license or state ID card receipt

* ID card issued by a federally recognized Indian tribe in Wisconsin

* ID issued by a Wisconsin accredited university or college that contains an issue date,  a student signature, and an expiration date within two years of issuance; card must be accompanied by proof of current enrollment

* Unexpired Veterans Affairs ID card

Non-acceptable forms of voter ID in Wisconsin are:

* high school ID cards

* faculty ID cards 

* out-of-state ID cards   

* out-of-state driver licenses
