Questions from Training
I had signed up to receive absentee ballots for the year because I am out of town a lot. Is it okay for poll workers to do that?
Absolutely. You may request that absentee ballots be mailed to you for the entire calendar year. You cannot, however, ask to be on the permanent absentee list.
Is it true that an out-of-state ID cannot be used for voting?
You are correct. A driver license or state ID card being used as voter ID must be issued by the Wisconsin DOT.
Can a UW-Madison Wiscard be used as voter ID? No, the Wiscard does not meet the state's voter ID criteria. UW-Madison students may get a voter identification card from the Wiscard office, though.
I have noticed that some poll workers lick their fingers when working with paper or turning the pages of the poll book. This is unsanitary. What are some better options? Please use the rubber fingertips or the Sortkwik fingertip moisturizer provided in the supply kit.
