General Requirements for Voting

Voter ID

Wisconsin now requires a photo ID for voting. See Bring It to the Ballot. Voting is a citizen's privilege and responsibility.

University Student Voter Residency Requirements

College students often live at different addresses throughout the year (school address, summer address, etc.). However, students have the same rights to vote as any other resident if they are otherwise qualified to vote. State law specifically provides that student status shall not be a consideration in determining residence for the purpose of establishing voter eligibility.

College students have choices for where they vote, but establishing the required 28 days of consecutive residency may be a tricky for them. State law acknowledges that college students may move frequently, and provides special exceptions for them. In general:

Students have the right to vote in Wisconsin if they have resided in a ward for at least 28 days, are U.S. citizens, at least 18 years old on or before Election Day, and are not otherwise disqualified.
Student status shall not be a consideration in determining residence for the purpose of establishing voter eligibility.

For more information on student voters, please consult the Student Residency Guide.

How to Register

You must register before you can vote. You will need to supply some form of identification during registration.
