If you already have a Wisconsin driver license or one of the other acceptable forms of photo ID for voting pictured below, then you're all set, go to Number Two!
If your student ID cannot be used for voting, you can find out if a separate school-issued photo ID card for voting is available and how to get one.
University of WI – 4-Year Schools
University of WI – 2-Year Schools
WI Private Universities and Colleges
WI Technical and Community Colleges
As of August 2020, the standard student ID at only five of the University of Wisconsin's 13 four-year schools and at eleven of the state's 23 private colleges can be used as a photo ID to vote.
So, if you don't have a WI driver license or one of the other acceptable IDs, know your options and look up your school today!
Note: you can use a school-issued ID for voting that is expired. If you do present an expired student ID, you must also present (or display electronically) at the polls a separate proof of enrollment document, such as an enrollment verification form, class schedule or tuition bill.

Even if you think you're already registered at your current address, confirm it!
You need to have lived at your current address for at least 28 days by Election Day in order to register to vote in that election district or ward.
To determine if/where you are registered, go to MyVote.WI.gov, select "Register to vote," and enter your name and date of birth. If you find out you're already registered to vote at your current address, jump down to Number Three...
If you're not already registered, there are several ways you can register to vote:
Online. Eligible voters in Wisconsin who have a valid Wisconsin driver license or a Wisconsin DMV-issued ID can now register online at MyVote.WI.gov up to 20 days before the election in which they are planning to vote.
By Mail. You can start your voter registration form online at MyVote.WI.gov – then print, sign and mail it to your municipal clerk along with a proof of residence (POR) document. Your form and POR must be received no later than 20 days before the election in which you are planning to vote.
In your Municipal Clerk’s Office. You can register in-person in your municipal clerk’s office up until the 5pm (or close of business) on the Friday before the election in which you are planning to vote. You'll need to bring a proof of residence document to complete your registration (this document can be shown electronically).
At the Polls on Election Day. If you're unable to register by any of the methods above, you can still register when you go to the polls to vote. You will need to present a proof of residence document when registering (again, this document can be shown electronically).
Examples of proof of residence documents are here.
Save time and hassle.
Register now.

And don't forget to bring your photo ID!
