what do I need to register?

I just moved to a different state, and I have not gotten a new license yet. If I have proof of my new address, can I register to vote?

    I think it depend on the state of your new residency. Why not try to go to the nearest registration office because in Wisconsin, new laws say that for Wisconsin citizens, voting needs an identification card issued by a state bureau. I read it here: Free voter ID very difficult to obtain for some in Wisconsin. But I am not assuming that all the states follow the same rule.

    In Wisconsin, you can register to vote on Election Day at your polling place. You can find your polling place by clicking here: https://vpa.wi.gov/. ]

    Check out what you need to bring here: http://gab.wi.gov/elections-voting/voters/registration-voting. Here's the skinny:

    AT THE POLLING PLACE ON ELECTION DAY: If you wish to register to vote at your polling place, you must bring proof that you have lived at your present location for at least 10 days preceding the election. For purposes of voter registration, acceptable forms of proof of residence must include:

    1. A current and complete name, including both the given and family name; and
    2. A current and complete residential address, including a numbered street address, if any, and the name of a municipality.

    Hope that helps and good luck!
