What to Bring

If you're a registered voter at your current address, you don't need to bring a thing.

If you're new to town, changed addresses since you last registered to vote, or need to register to vote for any othe reason, you'll need to bring proof of residence that shows you have been a resident there for at least 28 days.

Voter registration is required in Wisconsin, but you can register on election day at the polls if you bring acceptable proof of residence:

• Current Wisconsin driver license with current address listed
• Current utility bill that has been mailed to you
• Paycheck
• Bank statement
• Government check
• Government document

The document used to establish proof of residency must show the current name and address of the voter.

What to Expect With the New Voter ID Law

After being greeted by an election inspector, registered voters must give their name and address to the election inspector. The inspector will ask to see an ID. Voters who don't have an ID will be handed a flyer explaining the law and that it goes into full effect in February. Voters also will be required to sign the poll book so poll workers can verify the voter log and issue the voter a paper ballot.

Voters can then take the ballot to a booth where a pen will be waiting. Once the voter is done marking the ballot, he or she will slide it into a ballot box. 

Those who plan to register on election day will need to fill out an application for voter registration and show proof of residence to an election inspector before a ballot will be issued. Voters must now provide proof that shows 28 consecutive days of residence; the previous requirement was 10 days.
