Your vote is the power you have to improve your community. For generations, the disenfranchised fought to ensure access to the ballot. This fall, it is the sacred duty of every eligible voter to honor the sacrifices made by the Civil Rights warriors of the past and cast a ballot.
Due to recent court rulings, Wisconsin voters once again enjoy liberal access to in-person early voting before Election Day, November 8th. If you are already registered to vote, all you need to bring is a photo identification. If you are not registered, you can register when you vote by bringing proof of residence – typically a bill or lease which includes your address – and a photo identification.
