The efficiency of Wisconsin's new voter ID law will be tested Tuesday during local primary elections.

Voters may wait in line a little longer, but election officials hope they've done enough to educate voters on what to expect.

When you go to the polls expect to state your name, state your address, show your photo ID and sign the poll book. Then, you'll get a ballot.

Since Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI) signed the new voter ID law into law, the Government Accountability Board, along with municipal clerks, have been attempting to inform the public about what they need to know.

"It has been very confusing and we're asking for a lot of patience for all the voters at the poll sites," said Toni Rayala, Wausau's city clerk. "Every form has been rebuilt, regenerated, recreated," she said.

There are nine forms of photo ID which are acceptable, including a drivers license, passport, or student ID.

There is an exemption to the photo ID requirement for people who can't leave their homes.

"There is a stipulation in the law that if you are indefinitely confined due to age, disability or illness you are exempt from the voter ID law so you can get your ballot mailed to you via absentee," Rayala said.

If you have a valid ID but forget it on election day, you can still cast a provisional ballot. However, Rayala says it won't count unless you can show your ID to the municipal clerk by 4 p.m. Friday.

Voter ID has certainly been a divisive issue in Wisconsin. Supporters say it prevents voter fraud and maintains integrity at the polls.

Opponents say voter fraud isn't a problem to begin with, and the law disenfranchises voters, particularly minorities and the poor.

ID cards used specifically for voting are free through local Department of Motor Vehicles offices. You must specifically ask for a free ID when completing the Wisconsin Identificatoin Card Application.

According to the Department of Transportation, a free ID card is not available if you currently have a valid drivers license, you are not eligible under Wisconsin law to obtain an ID, if you won't be at least 18 years old on the date of the next election, and if you aren't eligible to vote.

According to the GAB, there have not been any widespread or organized cases of voter fraud in Wisconsin since the organization's been in place. After the 2008 presidential election, there was a total of six criminal complaints filed alleging voter fraud.

The voter ID law is the biggest change to state elections since 18-year-olds became eligible to vote.
