Check out Voting

The Dane County Voter ID Coalition is having a Voter Education Event at all Madison Public Libraries on Saturday, Oct. 8, from 10 am-2 pm. “Check Out Voting” will feature a special voter area at each library staffed by Special Registration Deputies (individuals who can register voters) with information on the new voter ID laws and resources available for getting an ID, including rides to the DMV. The voter ID booth will be in addition to existing voter areas at the libraries, since each library is also currently a location for in-person absentee voting for the November 8 election.  

The event is organized with the assistance and support of the Madison City Clerk and the Madison public libraries.  

“We want to make sure everyone understands the new laws and is prepared to vote. These events are intended to engage with the community in a fun way. Whether you need a ride to get an ID, or have questions on the new voter ID laws, we are here to help you,” said Ingrid Rothe, co-chair of the Coalition and Vice President of the League of Women Voters of Dane County.  

The Dane County Voter ID Coalition is a Dane County based, nonpartisan coalition dedicated to assisting every eligible Wisconsinite to understand the new voter ID laws and to vote. The Coalition helps voters who may not have an acceptable voter photo ID and arranges for direct assistance to those voters who may need help obtaining one. Learn more about the Coalition and its participating groups on the Coalition’s website, and follow them on Facebook and Twitter, and call the voter ID hotline for immediate voter ID help at 608.729.7720.
