WisconsinVote.org is your ultimate resource guide to be ready to cast your ballot. Go to WisconsinVote.org and get to know even more about the issues. The home page has the latest from Wisconsin Public Television and Wisconsin Public Radio. Click on “More Stories” to see anything you may have missed along the campaign trail and get to know more candidates. This primary isn’t just for the governor’s race. Click on “Candidates and Races” and scroll through all of the different seats up for election including United States Senate, House of Representatives, and state Senate and Assembly. Are you wondering what you need to be ready for election day? Then you’ll want to navigate to the voter frequently asked question page. You’ll see answers to common questions such as, “What are the requirements to vote in Wisconsin? How do I register? Where’s my polling location?” Or you can take it from an expert.

If you want to look at your ballot ahead of time, go to MyVote.wi.gov. You put in your address. It’ll show you the ballot for your location. You can register up until Friday at 5:00 p.m. on August 10th at your municipal clerk’s office. Or you can register on election day just like anyone else in Wisconsin.
