What do you need to bring?
An individual must show proof of residence at the poll prior to voting if he or she is:
- a first time voter who registered by mail but did not provide proof of residence when submitting the application
- registered in person after October 17th
- registered at the polling place on Election Day
For the purpose of voter registration, acceptable forms of proof of residence must include: 1) a current and complete name, with both the first and last name, and 2) a current and complete residential address, with a numbered street address, if any, and the name of municipality. The following are acceptable documents to provide proof of residence:
- a current and valid Wisconsin driver’s license.
- a current and valid Wisconsin I.D. card.
- any other official I.D. card or license issued by a Wisconsin governmental body or unit.
- any employer-issued photo I.D. card, issued in the normal course of business, but not including a business card.
- a university, college or technical college fee card or I.D. card with your photo and current address (may be used even if the card does not contain the cardholder’s address, if the educational institution provides a certified student list for use at the polling place)
- a utility bill (e.g., gas, electric, cable TV or telephone) for the period commencing not earlier than 90 days before election day.
- a bank statement
- a real estate (i.e., property) tax bill or receipt for the current year or the year preceding the date of the election
- a current residential lease which is effective for a period that includes election day (NOT for first-time voters registering by mail, however).
- a pay check or a government check or other document issued by unit of government.
Forms which have an expiration date must be valid on election day in order to constitute acceptable proof of residence at that election.
**Although Wisconsin passed a photo ID requirement in 2011, it is currently NOT in effect for the November elections by court order. You will not need a photo ID at the polls.
