Voter Registration
If you
have not yet registered to vote you may do so either in the clerk’s
office during normal business hours or at the polls on any election
day. If you are unsure of your registration status, please contact the
office and we will verify this for you. Voter registration requires
completion of a form and presentation of identification and proof of
residency. This can be easily achieved with a WI Drivers license or WI
Photo ID card. However, if you are not licensed to drive in Wisconsin
and do not have the state photo ID card there are other forms of
identification that can be presented. Please contact the clerks office
if you should have questions.
State Announces
New Online Assistance for Voters
Elections Division Unveils ‘Voter Public Access’
Madison, WI – Wisconsin voters can look up their polling place and other
election-related information on the Internet using a new function of the
state’s voter registration system. It’s now available under “Voter
Information” on the Elections Division page at http://gab.wi.gov, the
Government Accountability Board’s website. Voter Public Access gives the
public a new means of getting information about voter registration,
voting history, normal polling place locations, current office holders,
and sample ballots for upcoming elections. “This is a convenient tool
for voters who want to double-check information about themselves, where
they vote, or who they can vote for, before Election Day,” said Nat
Robinson, state Elections Division Administrator. “We hope it makes
voting easier.” The information provided on Voter Public Access pages
comes directly from the Statewide Voter Registration System and is
maintained by local clerks. Voters who find any out-of-date information
should report it to their local municipal clerk. “You can search your
own information using your name and birth date,” Robinson said. “Or you
can search by address to find the polling location for that particular
address.” In rare cases, a voter may vote on a provisional ballot, and
the Voter Public Access page will also allow that voter to check the
status of her/his provisional ballot. Instructions for using Voter
Public Access are provided on the site. Voters who do not find
registration information about themselves in Voter Public Access should
contact their municipal clerk to make sure they are properly registered
to vote.

Board by telephone at 1-608-266-8005, by electronic mail at gab@wi.gov,
