HOW TO REGISTER AND VOTE ON ELECTION DAY (link )

If you wish to register to vote at your polling place, you must complete a voter registration application (EB-131), provide your driver's license number (or if you have not been issued a driver's license, provide a state-issued identification card number or provide the last four (4) digits of your social security number), AND have proof of residence indicating that you have lived at your current address for 10 days preceding the election. 

If the voter has a current, valid Wisconsin driver’s license but does not know the number and did not bring it to the polling place, poll workers should allow the voter to vote by provisional ballot. (Note: the voter CANNOT use the last 4 digits of their Social Security Number if he or she has been issued a Wisconsin driver’s license). The provisional ballot will not be counted until the voter either:

a) Brings his or her driver’s license number to his or her polling place before the polls close at 8:00 pm on Election Day; or

b) Transmits (via fax, email, telephone call or personal visit) his or her driver’s license number to the municipal clerk before 4:00 pm on the day after the Election.  

If your name does not appear on the voter list at your polling place, you must complete a voter registration application before you will be allowed to vote.

For purposes of voter registration, acceptable forms of proof of residence include:

1. A current and valid WI driver’s license.

2. A current and valid Wisconsin identification card.

3. Any other official identification card or license issued by a Wisconsin governmental body or unit.

4. Any identification card issued by an employer in the normal course of business and bearing a photo of the card holder, but not including a business card.

5. A real estate tax bill or receipt for the current year or the year preceding the date of the election.

6. A residential lease which is effective for a period that includes election day (NOT for first-time voters registering by mail).

7. A university, college or technical institute fee card (must include photo).

8. A university, college or technical institute identification card (must include photo).

9. A gas, electric or telephone service statement (utility bill) for the period commencing not earlier than 90 days before election day.

10. Bank statement.

11. Pay Check.

12. A check or other document issued by unit of government.

Proof of residence does not include any piece of mail addressed to the voter.

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.
