Wisconsin Voters Approve Constitutional Amendment for Voter ID Requirement

The measure passed with 62.6% support, enshrining the state's voter ID law and making it more difficult to repeal.

Wisconsin voters approved a constitutional amendment requiring photo identification to vote, with 62.6% of the vote in favor.
The amendment solidifies an existing voter ID law enacted in 2011, making it harder for future legislatures or courts to overturn.
Proponents argue the amendment strengthens election integrity, while critics warn it could disenfranchise low-income and minority voters.
The amendment includes provisions allowing provisional ballots for voters unable to present valid photo ID on election day.
The vote coincided with a liberal victory in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, maintaining a 4-3 liberal majority that could influence election-related legal challenges.
