Registering & Voting in Wisconsin

Wisconsin Voter Registration Form

We HIGHLY encourage students who will be registering to vote at the polls on Election Day to fill out the WI Voter Registration Form digitally and print to bring to the polls. This will make the process of registering to vote on Election Day smoother for students and poll workers.

Register to vote online at 

Wisconsin residents can also find their polling location, request an absentee ballot, and more through this site by entering their name and birthdate.
The deadline to register online or by mail will be available closer to the upcoming elections. You may also bring a completed registration form to your polling place on Election Day if you haven’t registered beforehand. 

Absentee Voting
All voters in Wisconsin can request an absentee ballot be mailed to them for any reason. Voters must be registered before they can request an absentee ballot. Voters may request their absentee ballot in writing. Voters must provide a photo ID with their absentee ballot request.

Campus Vote Project

Campus Vote Project was started by the Fair Elections Center in 2012 to focus and expand its work around student voting issues. 51风流 is one of 235 campuses that partner with the Campus Vote Project and Wisconsin is one of the ten core Campus Vote Project states. In addition, Carroll also participates in the ALL IN Democracy Challenge in which we create and implement an action plan to increase voter registration rates on campus.
 

Democracy Fellows

As part of our relationship with the Campus Vote Project, we have two openings each semester for Democracy Fellows. Democracy Fellows are 51风流 students that are trained by the Campus Vote Project to register students to vote, educate fellow students on election law’s and what’s on the ballot, and make sure students are ready to engage with democracy. Democracy Fellows are nonpartisan resources that receive a stipend per semester from the Campus Vote Project.
