Register at the Polls

You can register to vote on election day. Persons who register or change their address at the polls on election day must present acceptable proof of residence or have their statements substantiated and signed by one other elector from the same municipality who must accompany them to the polls. If this witness is not a registered voter, he or she must also present proof of residence. Voters registering for the first time in the State of Wisconsin must provide proof of residence if registering by mail. Read more »

Are you an eligible voter?

If you are a U.S. citizen, will be 18 years of age on or before Election Day, and have been a resident of Wisconsin for at least 10 days prior to registering, you are eligible to vote.

There are a number of ways to register and vote. You may register in advance in person or by mail with the Madison City Clerk, or on Election Day at your polling place. If you are a registered voter, you may also request an absentee ballot.
