Register to Vote
You need to be registered to vote in
Wisconsin. Don't overlook that moving to
a new address requires updating your voter
registration.
To check on the status
of your current voter registration, go
to this page and enter your name and date
of birth. If you are registered, you're good to
go. If the address listed for you is old, you
will need to re-register.
If you are NOT
registered at your current
address and don't know who to contact
because you have moved to a different
municipality, go
to this page to find out where you vote.
Then contact the clerk for your municipality to
find out when you can register.
You can
always register at the polling place, but it
will take a few extra minutes and you must have
all the necessary documents along with
you.

REGISTER?
1. Your Wisconsin Drivers
License, if you have one.
2. If you do not have a drivers license, the last four digits of your Social Security Number.

Whatever form of proof you supply must contain a complete name, including both the first and last name; and a current and complete residential address, including a numbered street address, if any, and the name of a municipality. Forms which have an expiration date must be valid on election day in order to constitute acceptable proof of residence at that election.
If you don't have written proof, bring a friend (with identification) who lives in the same municipality. This person can serve as a corroborator (witness) to verify your address. He or she does not need to be a registered voter but must provide proof of residence, which must be in the same municipality.
Don't let registration keep you from voting!
