This guide is meant to help advocates assist their clients with the voting process. With the passage of the Wisconsin photo ID voting law, there is a lot of confusion about who can vote and how they can vote. The guide explains how survivors can register to vote and ensure they have the proper documentation to vote. In this volatile political climate and budgetary climate, we need survivors’ voices and participation at the ballot box now more than ever.
