Verify Your Voter Registration

Verify your voter registration in three easy steps:

 

1. CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION AT MYVOTE.WI.GOV

You can check your voter registration status on the state website MyVote.wi.gov.

  1. Toward the top of the web page, you can select “My Voter Info” to search for your voter registration. The website will prompt the voter to enter name and date of birth.
  2. Once your registration information appears on the screen, you should look for a status of “You are Registered to Vote!” and should verify that the current address listed is accurate.
  3. If you see that you are not registered and believe you are, try typing in "01-01-1900" as the birth date.  (When the state changed systems several years ago, the state used this date for birth date if they did not have one on record.) If this does not work, you have not moved and have voted in the past 4 years, you should contact your city, village or town clerk to clarify your registration status.

You will need to update your registration if you have moved (even if to a different address within the same municipality or a different unit within the same apartment building or condominium development.) You can register online if your address is up-to-date with the Wisconsin DMV, or you can register by mail or in-person at the Gibraltar Town Offices.

**Please note the registration deadlines above.**

 

2. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT ID

Wisconsin voters need to show a valid photo ID when they vote.  For a list of acceptable photo ideas click here. When you present your ID to election officials, they will look at the name, expiration date, and ID type; they do not look at the address on the ID.

3. DON'T WAIT TO VOTE ABSENTEE

If you are planning to vote absentee (also known as vote-by-mail), request your ballot as soon as possible. It's easy to do! Request a ballot by visiting myvote.wi.gov, by sending an email to the Town Clerk's office, or sending a letter to the Town Clerk's office at P.O. Box 850 Fish Creek, WI 54212. If it is your first time voting absentee by mail, you will need to provide a copy of the photo ID you use for voting when you request an absentee ballot.
