Voter Registration

As of January 1, 2006, all municipalities in Wisconsin require voter registration prior to a person being allowed to vote.

The federal "Help American Vote Act of 2002" requires any person registering to vote to supply his or her Wisconsin Department of Transportation issued driver's license number.  If the elector has never been issued a Wisconsin driver's license, he/she must provide the last 4 digits of their Social Security Number OR their Wisconsin state ID card number.  If the elector does not have a current, valid Wisconsin driver’s license, Wisconsin state ID card, or Social Security Number, the applicant may indicate this by filling in the appropriate circle on the registration form.  The registration cannot be processed until the elector provides this information.        

Please Note:  State and federal law requires that a voter submitting a registration application by mail provide a copy of an acceptable identifying document that provides proof of residence.  Acceptable forms of proof of residence are outlined below. A 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 not be registered.

Options to register:

1.  Online: Go to My Vote Wisconsin to complete your Voter Registration information online using your current Wisconsin Driver's License or Identification Card information.

2.  Mail: Go to My Vote Wisconsin to begin your Voter Registration if you have not updated your Wisconsin Driver's License or Identification Card information.  You can print the form and mail it to the City Clerk's office.  The application must be postmarked no later than the 20th day (3rd Wednesday) before the election.  After this time, all registrations shall be in-person at the Clerk's office.  Any registrations received in the mail at this time will be returned.

 3.  In Person: Register in the City Clerk's office up to 5:00 p.m. or the close of business day, whichever is later, on the Friday before the election.  Go to My Vote Wisconsin to create your Voter Registration Form, print it and bring to the Clerk's Office.  Remember to bring your proof of residence (see information below).
