As versatile as the Wisconsin DMV is in offering services to the public, from registering your vehicle to signing up for organ donation, Wisconsin is one of the few states that does not offer voter registration at the DMV offices.

However, that doesn't mean you should forfeit your right to vote; there are other places to register.

Top Who Is Qualified To Vote?

Before you register to vote, you must first make sure you are eligible to vote. Wisconsin provides a short online quiz for you to take to see if you are qualified to vote in Wisconsin elections.

Basically it boils down to:

• You must be 18 years old.

• You must be a United State citizen.

• You must have lived in the area for 10 days before the election.

• You must not be ruled unable to vote by a judge.

• You must not be reporting to a probation or parole officer.

Note, too, that you can only vote once during the election.

Top Register on Election Day

Wisconsin election laws make it easy to register to vote, and you can even register to vote at your local polling place on the day of the election if you are not already registered.

Aside from registering on the day of the election, you can also register at:

• County Election Offices.

• Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) offices.

• Food stamps offices.

• Women, infants and children (WIC) benefits offices.

• Any office or agency that provides services for the disabled community.

• Medicaid offices.

Top Required Documents for Voting

In order to register to vote, you'll need to provide your driver's license or ID card; if you don't have either, you can provide the last four digits of your Social Security number.

Save yourself some time by downloading the Voter Registration Application using the free Adobe Reader.

If you choose to register on Election Day, you'll also need to provide proof of residency.

Top Absentee Voting

Sometimes school, work, and other engagements take us away from home during elections―but that doesn't mean we can't vote! Simply request an absentee ballot from your local municipal clerk.

Top Election Results

Wisconsin makes it easy to find out not only the results of the most recent election, but the results of past elections, too. Just visit their Elections Web page and click on the year you're interested in.

Top Running For Office?
