The Wisconsin DMV typically offers extended hours on the Monday before an election and on Election Day to allow more time for people to obtain a photo ID. A birth certificate and proof of identity and Wisconsin residency are needed to obtain an official Wisconsin ID card.

The Wisconsin February primary has one statewide race on the ballot along with some local school board races and referendums and some races for city, town and village positions. There are three people in the primary for state superintendent of public instruction.
