Educating Seniors about Voter ID,
Impact of SB 295 on Voter Registration Drives
Common Cause in Wisconsin (CC/WI), the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin (LWV-WI), and organizations representing older adults are holding a press conference tomorrow – Thursday, February 11th – at 10:30 AM in the Assembly Parlor at the State Capitol to announce the Voices Of The Elderly (VOTE) Collaboration, an initiative to assist older voters in obtaining the required photo ID that will be necessary to cast a ballot in the 2016 elections.
