    It sounds like you'll only be able to vote for the person running in the area that represents you. Unless the candidates are running in what is known as an at-large district, which means that district isn't further broken down geographically, the only people that will be on your ballot will be those candidates running to represent your specific area.

    Hope that helps!

    Are you asking literally how to fill out a ballot?

    You can get this information directly from your polling location. The staff there can help you figure it out.

    If you are looking for information on what's on the ballot and who to vote for, you should check out this comprehensive website: http://wisconsinvote.org/

    If you have a more specific question, feel free to ask.

    Good voting!

    This is a great question, kimokaur.

    Ultimately, this is your journey.

    But we do know of a couple of online tools that can help. The most well known is the Political Compass Test. It will help you get a sense of where you are on the spectrum.

    The other thing you can do is head over to Project Vote Smart's Vote Easy tool. It allows you to answer some simple questions and compares them to the candidates in your state.

    Hope this helps.

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