Anyone wishing to vote in the state of Wisconsin has three options to register: 1. BY MAIL: Download the Application for Voter Registration Voter Registration Application in English, or Spanish or Hmong, complete the form and mail it into the municipal clerk’s office. Find your Wisconsin Municipal Clerk here. The application must be postmarked no later than the 3rd Wednesday before the election. PLEASE NOTE: State and federal law now requires that any first-time voter submitting a registration application by mail provide a copy of an acceptable identifying document that provides proof of residence. (A “first-time voter” is an individual who has not voted in an election in Wisconsin.) Acceptable forms of proof of residence are outlined below. Please note that first-time voters registering by mail may not use a residential lease as proof of residence. The copy of the form of proof of residence must be included when submitting the registration application. If a copy of proof of residence is not included, the elector will be required to supply it before being issued a ballot at the polling place or before being issued an absentee ballot in the municipal clerk’s office. 2. IN PERSON: Register in the municipal clerk’s office up to 5 p.m. or the close of business whichever is later on the Friday before the election. Note: After the BY MAIL deadline, an elector registering in person in the clerk’s office is required to present acceptable proof of residence as outlined below. 3. AT THE POLLING PLACE ON ELECTION DAY: If you wish to register to vote at your polling place, you must bring proof that you reside at your present location. For purposes of voter registration, acceptable forms of proof of residence must include: 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. NOTE: Proof of residency is required for voter registration and must be current and valid. The purpose of the proof of residency document is to establish the voter’s current address, not to prove that the voter complies with the 10 consecutive day residency requirement. The voter’s sworn statement on the registration form that they meet the 10-day requirement shall be presumed to be true unless the inspector or a challenger has first-hand knowledge sufficient to question the certification.
