Protect voting rights of Wisconsin students

To make sure students aren't denied the right to vote, the University of Wisconsin administration must modify student ID cards to comply with the voter photo ID law recently signed by Governor Scott Walker.

Currently, UW ID cards lack the signature and expiration date necessary to make them valid as voter IDs. If the administration modified the cards to include a signature and expiration date, students would easily be able to vote in the spring 2012 elections and in next year's presidential election.

It is vitally important that our young people have the opportunity to vote. That's why we created a petition to UW-Madison Interim Chancellor David Ward on SignOn.org, which says:

Modify University of Wisconsin ID cards to comply with the 2011 Wisconsin Act 23, commonly known as the voter ID law.
