Wisconsin Election Protection

Following today's Joint Finance Committee vote to remove WEC's major budget proposals from consideration, WEC Administrator Meagan Wolfe urged committee members to consider future proposals that would increase oversight, transparency, and accountability in our elections.

Wonder what a Wisconsin Municipal Clerk is responsible for? Thinking of becoming one yourself? Get answers to your questions and learn more about the job of municipal clerks from clerks! Tuesday, April 25th 7pm-8pm bit.ly/WI-Clerk-Info

Do you know a municipal clerk who does a great job making voting accessible? Nominate them to be recognized for their good work by @DisabilityVote_ disabilityvote.org/2023/celebrate…

Election officials want to make democracy boring again. They have a plan to get there, but it is still a long, long way off. My latest, with a sneak peek at @BPC_Bipartisan's new report on changes to make ahead of 2024 (and beyond) politico.com/news/2023/04/1…

ANY provisional voters - your clerk has to see your ID by 4pm Friday for your vote to be counted!

So glad to see so many folks voted yesterday! Please share your experiences and concerns with us - it helps for future planning!

If you are in line at 8 pm: STAY IN LINE. You will be allowed to vote!

Less than one hour until the polls close! As long as you're in line by 8, you'll get to vote.

Hey, @Bucks fans, it's Election Day! If you haven’t already Voted Early, you still have time to cast your ballot today to make your voice heard. 🗳️ Hear from some of our players on why voting is important to them! #BucksVote

@wi_defender @Citizen_MKE @badachie And yay for the voting family!

@wi_defender @Citizen_MKE @badachie We try to keep track of these things - if one of you could reach out w the details/location here, or FB at Wisconsin Election Protection, we'd love to have them for future reference.

Does a voter need an additional proof of residence document on top of a valid unexpired drivers license at their current address to register at the polls? I’m not seeing that requirement, but my kid was just sent home to get “a piece of mail”. Cc @badachie

There is still time to know what you need to do and get your ballot cast. So much on this ballot and your future. You get to have part in that. An important part. Polls are open until 8pm. Take a friend.

Haven't voted yet? If you're leaving work or school, why not stop at your polling place on the way home?!

🚗It may be raining but you can still get a ride to the polls! Call @polls_souls at 414-742-1060 for a ride in Milwaukee. Or check out the @DisabilityVote_ website here for options around the state: disabilityvote.org/2023/rides-to-…

@DanRShafer @cefacosa If any q's or concerns, you can let us know here, or call 866-OUR-VOTE.

@cefacosa Proof of residence and a valid ID. elections.wi.gov/Register

Reminder that Wisconsin has same-day voter registration. So if you recently moved or if you need to re-register for whatever reason, you can do that at the polls today.

@badachie Wow. Glad at least they get to wait indoors!

Municipal clerks offer early voting on campus challenge... I'm super happy these kids are showing up today but there's no reason this line needs to be this long.

@DanRShafer Also a good idea to use myvote to double check your polling place, since some of them may have moved.

It’s always a good idea to preview what’s on your ballot before you head to the polls. The Wisconsin Supreme Court race will be on ballots statewide, but there’s a lot happening in each community in Wisconsin. Be prepared: myvote.wi.gov/en-us/Whats-On…

(of course we're hoping you don't and that you have an easy time voting!)

Please let us know or call 866-OUR-VOTE if you experience a weather-related issue at your polling place. Please provide polling place name & address, and also what municipality it's in.

@heather_reindl Here's what the state's Election Day Manual says:

@heather_reindl While that can be a good idea, it's not a requirement under the law.

If you asked for an absentee ballot but didn't return it, you CAN vote in person today.
