Voter Registration

Anyone wishing to vote in the state of Wisconsin, where they are required to register, has three options to register:

Register at the Polling Place on Election Day 

If you wish to register to vote at your polling place, you must bring proof that you have lived at your present location for 10 days preceding the election. For purposes of voter registration, a form of identification constitutes acceptable proof of residence if it includes:
 

	A current and complete name, including both the given and family name; and
	A current and complete residential address, including a numbered street address, if any, and the name of a municipality.

Forms of identification which constitute acceptable proof of residence when they contain the information specified above, include the following:
 

	A Wisconsin motor vehicle operator's license.
	A Wisconsin identification card.
	Any other official identification card or license issued by a Wisconsin governmental body or unit or by an employer in the normal course of business, but not including a business card.
	A credit card or plate.
	A library card.
	A check-cashing or courtesy card issued by a merchant in the normal course of business.
	A real estate tax bill or receipt for the current year or the year preceding the date of the election.
	A residential lease which is effective for a period that includes election day.
	A university, college or technical institute fee card.
	A university, college or technical institute identification card.
	An airplane pilot's license.
	A gas, electric or telephone service statement for the period commencing not earlier than 90 days before election day.

If you cannot supply acceptable proof of residence, your registration form can be substantiated and signed by one other elector who resides in your municipality, corroborating your residency information.  The corroborator must then provide acceptable proof of residence. 

If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact your municipal clerk or the State Elections Board. The Elections Board can be reached at:
