RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS You must be a resident for at least 28 days prior to the election date.  If you have not been a resident for 28 days, you will need to vote in person or by absentee at your previous registration location.  The deadline to register by mail is 20 days prior to an election date.  Thereafter, you must register in the municipal clerk's office.  Be sure to provide/bring appropriate proof of residence.
PHOTO ID:  Wisconsin residents are required to show proof of identification in order to obtain a ballot, both at the polls and by absentee.  In most cases, this will be a Wis driver's license or Wis-issued identification card.  Photo ID requirements are different than proof of residence requirements.  Your driver's license may not have your current address, but it will have your name and photo ID--that is sufficient for Photo ID.  The Wisconsin Division of Motor Vehicles has a process to allow people to obtain a free State ID card for voting purposes, even if the person does not have a birth certificate.   Go to Wisconsin Voter Information website at  https://myvote.wi.gov/ for information and instructions.
