Election Q&As
Who can vote?
To register to vote in Wisconsin, you must meet the following requirements:
- Be a United States citizen.
- Be age 18 or older by Election Day.
- Have resided at your current address for at least 28 days before Election Day.
- If you've been convicted of a felony, you must have completed your sentence, including probation, parole or extended supervision.
- Have not been adjudicated incompetent to vote by a judge.
How do you check if you're registered?
You can check your registration status on the MyVote Wisconsin website here by entering your name and date of birth.
The deadline to register online or by mail is Oct. 14. The deadline to register in person at your municipal clerk's office is Oct. 30 at 5 p.m. If you haven't registered to vote before Nov. 3, don't panic. You can register to vote in person at your polling place on Election Day. You'll just need to bring an accepted form of ID and proof of residence (and meet the voting requirements).
Can I vote by mail?
Yes. Wisconsin voters don't need a reason to vote by mail/be an absentee voter. Every registered Wisconsin voter has the ability to request an absentee ballot by mail. You can request an absentee ballot on MyVote Wisconsin here.
Once you've submitted your request for an absentee ballot, you can track your ballot here.
Before you begin filling out your absentee ballot, make sure you have a witness who can verify that you filled out your own ballot. The witness needs to be an adult U.S. citizen who is not a candidate in the upcoming election. Once you've completed your ballot, place it in the certified envelope that comes with your absentee ballot. Seal and sign the certificate envelope and then have your witness sign the certificate and include the witness' address.
The next step is to mail it back to your municipal clerk. The United States Postal Service recommends mailing your ballot back at least seven days before Election Day, according to the Wisconsin Elections Commission.
If you're worried about your ballot being returned in time, you can deliver it to your municipal clerk's office or deliver it to your polling place on Election Day.
How do I find my polling place?
You can find your polling location by entering your address here.
Can I put my absentee ballot in a ballot drop box?
Yes. The Wisconsin Supreme Court recently ruled that Wisconsin communities can once again use drop boxes to collect absentee ballots. However, the use of drop boxes is not required, so it's up to your municipal clerk whether they are available in your community or not.
