Constitutional Amendment Requiring Voter ID Passes in Wisconsin

By /

Wisconsin voters approved a constitutional amendment requiring photographic ID to vote.

The rule—already law since 2011—has now been permanently embedded in the state’s constitution.

That means even if Democrats win future legislative control, they’d face a lengthy amendment process to repeal it.

The amendment reads:

“Shall section 1m of article III…require that voters present valid photographic identification verifying their identity in order to vote?”

Republicans backed the move, citing election integrity.

Groups like the ACLU and League of Women Voters opposed it, calling it burdensome for marginalized voters.

This makes overturning voter ID laws nearly impossible.
