Tuesday’s Spring Primary
Election will be relatively small, with voters in approximately 520 of
Wisconsin’s 1,850 cities, villages and towns going to the polls. These
primary elections typically have turnouts of less than 10 percent of
eligible voters. As a result, the G.A.B. does not anticipate major
problems with implementation of the new law at this election.

“We learned a great deal during soft implementation
of the Voter Photo ID Law last summer and fall,” said Nathaniel E.
Robinson, elections division administrator for the G.A.B. In those
elections, voters were asked for an ID, but were not required to show
one. “We have been training local election officials about the changes
in the law, and we have been educating and doing outreach to voters
across the state.”

In January, the G.A.B. launched its “Bring It to the
Ballot” campaign of public service announcements on TV, radio,
newspapers, billboards and the Internet. All of the videos and other
materials are available on the campaign’s website:
bringit.wisconsin.gov.
