You can still register in person at your municipal clerk's office until 5:00 p.m. the day before Election Day (November 2nd). You can also register to vote at your polling place on Election Day. Click here for more information: http://gab.wi.gov/elections-voting/voters/registration-voting.

Hope that helps!

There are a lot of great tools and guides that can help you figure out who and what is on your ballot this year. Check out http://www.vote411.org/ or http://votesmart.org/voteeasy/# or http://thisismyballot.org/ to see the candidates and issues on the ballot in your area.

Your Secretary of State or local elections board may have sample ballots as well.

Election Day is Tuesday, November 2nd. The polls will be open from 7am to 8pm.

When your name changes, you need to update your voter registration file with a new voter registration form.

If you fill out a form online through Rock the Vote - either at www.rockthevote.com or by clicking the "REGISTER TO VOTE HERE" button on the right side of this page - you should check the box on step 3 that indicates your name change. You can then print that out and send it in to have the registrar update your voter registration.

(Alternatively, you can go to your municipal clerk's office and make the change in person. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to complete this process entirely online.)

Hope that helps!

hey caitlin,

you'll find everything you need at here: www.longdistancevoter.org/wisconsin. you need to mail your absentee ballot application to your local election official. once it's processed, they'll send you your absentee ballot. fill it out and mail it back in the return envelope and you're done! we recommend applying ASAP so you have plenty of time to get it back by election day.

happy voting!

You have the legal right to register and vote at any address that you will have been living in for a state-specific amount of time prior to the election. In every state, if you moved into on-or off-campus housing at the start of the fall semester, you will have been living there for long enough to vote.

A person may register to vote using any address he or she considers to be his or her legal residence. Residence requires both domicile and a place of abode. A P.O. Box is sufficient as a mailing address, but insufficient to establish residency. College students should list the street address of their dorm and specify the room, floor, or apartment they occupy.

It is against the law to use the voter roles to determine jury duty.

Yes. Each part of the state has its own unique candidates and measures on the ballot.

When you vote at your assigned polling place you will have the opportunity to vote on the candidates and issues that most directly affect you and your neighbors. When you send in your new voter registration form indicate that you are changing your address. You will get a voter registration card in the mail within a month that will tell you where your precinct’s polling place is located. You do not have to “unregister” your previous registration.

Absolutely. Go here for details on getting and submitting an absentee ballot:

Advanced planning is encouraged because in some states the deadline for applying for an absentee ballot is a few weeks prior to Election Day. As long as the absentee ballot itself is postmarked by Election Day it legally has to be counted.
