Photo below! ✅ Wisconsin residents who are not registered to vote can do so at the polls on Election Day. You can complete a paper voter registration form at your polling place on Election Day. In order to register, a proof-of-residence document with a current address is required. Learn more at https://elections.wi.gov/Register If you’re unsure of your voter registration status, visit the MyVote website. Online voter registration for the November 3 General Election, which doesn’t require the voter to print or sign a paper form, resumes after the August 11 Partisan Primary. ✅ You need an acceptable photo ID to vote and your ID for voting does not need to show your current address. Your acceptable photo ID for voting does not need to show your current address. Most voters already have the photo ID they need to vote, such as a Wisconsin driver license or ID. If you have ID questions, please visit the Bring It to the Ballot website or call 1-866-VOTE-WIS for information. A voter who does not have an acceptable photo ID must be offered a provisional ballot and the opportunity to submit a photo ID within three days after the election. ✅ You may only vote for candidates of one party in the primary. Wisconsin law allows voters to choose which political party’s primary they wish to vote in without having to register to vote with a party affiliation or designation. However, a voter may only vote within one party’s primary on the August 11 ballot. Put simply, voters must pick a party preference when filling out a ballot for the Partisan Primary and stick with that party down the ballot when choosing their candidates of choice. If you select a party preference but vote in multiple primaries, only your chosen party’s votes will count. This is called crossover voting. Votes cast for any other party will not be counted.
