Mock election held to test Voter ID

 

City officials are requesting the help of students when the City Clerk’s office holds a mock election to evaluate the impact of the new Voter ID law on campus.

Under The law, which the State passed in May, current uw-Madison student ids are invalid for identification at polling places.

the event will take place in the Great Hall of Memorial Union from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15.

According to Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, election officials are volunteering their time to register students to vote throughout the event.

While the election at the event is not real, voters who register are automatically registered to vote in future elections.
