Wisconsin voters approved a constitutional amendment to devote the requirement for the identification of state voters, according to a race call after 8:37 p.m. on April 1.
The amendment was adopted with 60.3% of the votes, or 482,591 voting bulletins in favor, while 39.7%, or 318,236 voters, opposed it.
The amendment increases the idea of identifying the Wisconsin photo to vote from the law of the State to the constitutional status. The law on the identification of voters, in place since 2011 and permanently implemented in 2016, will now be protected against potential judicial disputes.
The proposal, put on the ballot by the legislature under the control of the Republican, was presented by his supporters as a measure to improve election security. Even without the amendment, the requirement for the identification of voters would have remained in place as the law of the State.
This measure was one of the many decisions taken by Wisconsin voters in the April 1 elections, which also included the race for the senior state education.
