, election day is just two weeks away - are you ready to vote?

The Wisconsin General Election is coming up on Tuesday, November 6th. We know you'll want your voice to be heard at the ballot box so here are some important reminders to make sure you're ready to vote and make it matter!

Plan to Register at the Polls 

While the deadline to register to vote online has passed, in Wisconsin you can register at the polls on election day or when voting early in-person. When registering to vote in Wisconsin, just remember that you must have proof that you reside at your present location. For purposes of voter registration, acceptable forms of proof of residence must include:

  1. A current and complete name, including both the given and family name; and
  2. A current and complete residential address.

And even if you think you're already registered, go ahead and confirm your registration status by linking here.

Vote Early!

One of the #1 reasons why people don't end up voting is that something comes up on election day and they can't make it to the polls. If you think there is even a slight chance you won't make it to the polls on November 6th, then vote early! You do not need a reason or excuse, like being out of town on Election Day, to vote by absentee ballot. Any Wisconsin voter who wishes to cast an absentee ballot may do so either in-person during the early voting period or by mail. Just be sure you have a photo ID ready to vote at anytime. And note that you can register to vote at the same time you early vote in-person. Just be sure to bring a proof of residence with you.

Plan Ahead & Know Where to Vote

Be ready and know where to vote on November 6th. Link here to look up where your polling place is. And if you need a free ride to the polls, you can click here for information.

And remember that in Wisconsin, you have the right to take up to 3 hours of unpaid time to leave work to vote but you must tell your employer at least a day in advance and your employer can set the time for you to leave work.

Have Your Photo ID Ready .

In Wisconsin, you're required to show a photo ID before voting. Examples of forms of photo ID you can use include:

  • A Wisconsin DOT-issued driver license, even if driving privileges are revoked or suspended
  • A Wisconsin DOT-issued identification card
  • A Military ID card issued by the U.S. Uniformed Services (including retired and dependent uniformed service IDs)
  • A U.S. passport book or card

If you don't currently have one of these forms of photo ID, link here to get a free state ID card.
