This is a particularly important election – today is the primary election for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, an election that will have impacts on our lives for decades. Future cases that will likely come before the court include the legality of the criminal abortion ban, the make-up of voting maps, environmental protections, LGBTQ+ rights, and more.
Voting is easy, just make a plan before you go. The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. today, find your polling place here. If you have issues at the polls or have questions about voting, call the Election Protection hotline: 866-OUR-VOTE. |
Here’s the voting information you need: -
First, check to see if you’re registered to vote here. If you’re not registered, you can register in-person when you vote. Just make sure you have a proof of residence document for your registration (this can be a letter from a tribal government if it has your name and address on it) and a valid photo ID to vote (this can be a tribal ID).
- Know what’s on your ballot. You can find a sample ballot on MyVote here.
-
If you haven’t yet returned your absentee ballot, you should plan to drop it off in-person or vote in-person at your polling location. If you would like to drop off your absentee ballot in-person, you should contact your clerk to find out where you can return your absentee ballot. Contact your clerk if you have more questions.
- When voting in-person today, Tuesday, Feb. 21, make sure you bring a valid photo ID and know where your polling place is (your polling location may have changed this year). All polling locations are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
