How do I register to vote?

When you register online, submit information exactly as it appears on your WI driver license or state ID. If your address has changed, update it first with the DMV.

When you register in person, you must supply the number on your Wisconsin Driver License or Wisconsin State ID. If you do not have one of those, you must supply the last four digits of your social security number. If your license or ID has your correct address, that is all you need. Otherwise, you will need  to verify your address.

How do I verify my address? 
These are the most common ways to verify your address. It must include your name and current address. You may present these electronically:

• A current and accurate State of Wisconsin Driver License or State ID card.
• An official ID card or license issued by a Wisconsin governmental body or unit.
• A real estate tax bill/receipt for the current year or the year preceding the date of the election.
• A public school grade report, schedule, etc.
• A university, college, or technical college identification card (must include photo) only if the voter provides a class-fee receipt dated within the last 9 months or the institution provides a certified housing list, that indicates citizenship, to the municipal clerk.
• A gas, electric, or telephone service statement (utility bill) for the period commencing no earlier than 90 days prior.
• Bank/credit card statement.
• Paycheck or paystub.
• A check or other document issued by a unit of Wisconsin government.
• A letter on public or private social service agency letterhead identifying a homeless voter and describing the individual’s residence for voting purposes.
• Residential lease that is effective on date of registration. 
• An intake document from a residential care facility such as a nursing home or assisted living facility. 
(A medical bill is not an acceptable proof of address.)

How do I cast a ballot?

  • Request a mailed ballot. When you receive your ballot, line up a witness who is a Wisconsin resident, fill in your ballot, follow directions, and mail it back right away.
  • Vote early at your clerk's office during regular office hours beginning the Tuesday two weeks before an election.
  • Vote at your polling place  on Election Day between 7:00 am to 8:00 pm.
    • Present your photo ID and state your name and address. Sign the poll book when asked.
      (If you are unable to sign because of a physical disability, you are exempt from this requirement.)
    • You may ask to see a list of registered write-in candidates.
    • When you receive a ballot, proceed to a voting booth to mark your ballot.
      (It is OK to ask someone to help you read your ballot if you are visually impaired. There may also be a special device available to help you complete your ballot with auditory directions.)
    • Read the instructions at the top of the ballot, and fill out your ballot.
    • Insert your ballot into the tabulation machine.​​ 
    • While at your polling place, you may use a cellphone to present proof of address, look up candidates while you vote, and take photos -- but it is illegal to photograph other voters or a completed ballot, even your own completed ballot.​
    • If there is a reason you cannot enter your polling place, you can vote from your car in your polling place parking lot. There is usually a phone number posted that you can call when you get there, or arrange curbside voting ahead of time with your clerk.
    • If you are in line by 8:00 pm, you will be allowed to vote no matter how late it gets.
