Nov 3 Vote Guide- Register & Mail Voting

[SmartVoter22]

OK, here's the new deadlines to; register to vote and/or get an absentee/mail ballot, in WIsconsin.

THERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO BE ACCURATE WITH. DO NOT ASSUME ANYTHING...
The GOP wrote the election laws and has made sure that even typos can be considered an attempt at fraud, which is a felony in Wisconsin.
Here's some major things to remember when registering to vote:
1) Your postal mailing address may not be your residence municipality, so check your address online at https://myvote.wi.gov/en-us/
2) You name must match what is on your WI Driver's License/State ID, be precise and double check everything.
3) If in doubt, go to myvotewi.gov and put your home address in to find you municipal clerk...then call them. Do not wait until Nov 1st to get started.

2. Great information.

My absentee request has been approved.

Here is a caveat on the front page of My Vote Wisconsin:

Absentee ballot tracking information will only display up to Election Day for each election. Please use My Voter Info to check the My Voting Activity section and verify your participation for the 2020 Partisan Primary. Clerks have begun recording election participation, but it may up take to 30 days for this process to be completed.

4. At least we can tell if our ballot is counted.

I always check the myvotewi.gov website.
Before and after every election.

Glad to see you are doing the same.

3. Great post! I would also add that you have to have a copy of your ID

on file with the clerk's office to vote absentee, so you either have to scan and send a copy or stop by the clerk's office. You can also get a free ID for voting at the DMV.

5. Yes, but do not wait... Do it ASAP

It will take time at the DMV. It is not a 5 min McDonalds drive thru experience.
It may take a couple of hours.

Remebmer to ask for ALL ELECTIONS IN THE YEAR.
You may have to apply every year. Wisconsin has elections every year, either two- in odd numbered years for local offices or four-in even numbered years which include a fall federal election.

Thanks for the reminder.
