Wednesday, October 16, is the final day to register to vote online or by mail prior to the November 5 General Election.
The Madison City Clerk's Office encourages voters to check their registration at https://MyVote.wi.gov. Anyone who has moved - even to a new apartment in the same building -needs to update their voter registration. Voters who registered with someone on the street should check the My Vote site to make sure their form and proof of address were submitted to the Clerk's Office and were complete.
"Voting is one of our most important democratic responsibilities and rights," said Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway. "Especially in the current climate of efforts to restrict the ability to vote, it's important that we all exercise the fundamental rights that generations of Americans fought so hard to attain. Don't lose the opportunity to make your voice heard - register to vote today!"
Voter registration is available at all absentee voting sites when open for voting October 22 through Friday, November 1, and at the polls on Election Day. Proof of address is needed when registering to vote, and may be electronic. Any of these documents can be used as proof of address as long the name and address on the document are the name and address on the voter registration form:
The goal of the City Clerk's Office is that each eligible voter will be able to cast a ballot and have that ballot counted.
