MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin election officials are questioning how the Department of Transportation will get voting credentials to people who lack photo identification on Election Day.
The DOT mails voting credentials to people who try to obtain a photo ID from the agency but lack supporting documents such as birth certificates.
State Election Commission members during a meeting Tuesday questioned how the DOT can get such credentials to people who try to get a photo ID on Election Day. Since the agency mails the credentials, those people likely wouldn’t receive their credentials until the next week.
They could vote by provisional ballot but the deadline for confirming those ballots is the Friday after the election. People waiting for credentials would see their ballots invalidated.
A DOT spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to a message.
