How to Register to Vote
Wisconsin law requires every qualified voter to maintain a current voter registration before voting in an election. Therefore, you must complete a voter registration application if you are a new Wisconsin voter, your name and/or residential address has changed since you last registered to vote, or if you have not voted in the past four (4) years.
If you are uncertain of your voter registration name, address or status, you can go to My Vote Wisconsin and select "Regular Voter" to look up your voter record.
The Village of Bayside provides three (3) opportunities for completing and updating your voter registration: online, by mail, or at your voting site on Election Day. Do not forget to include your proof of residence documentation when registering to vote!
Have you moved out of state? Need to report a death? In order to be removed from the voter rolls, please email rsafstrom@baysidewi.gov and include your name, registration address, date of birth, and the reason for deactivation.
1. Online
If you have a Wisconsin drivers license or Wisconsin state identification card, you may register to vote online and do not need to mail in any additional documentation. Registering to vote online is a two-step process:
- First, your information must be current with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Have you updated your address with the DMV? If not, first update your address for free on the DMV’s website. Name changes cannot be completed online with the DMV; you must go to a DMV office in order to complete the name change.
- Second, once your address and name are up-to-date with the DMV, go to MyVote in order to update your voter registration. Your voter registration information is not updated until you go to MyVote and complete the registration process.
2. By Mail
Download and print the Voter Registration Application. Once complete, you may mail the application along with a copy of your proof of residence document to:
Village of Bayside
9075 N Regent Road
Bayside, WI 53212
9075 N Regent Road
Bayside, WI 53212
Registrations by mail must be postmarked prior to the close of registration date for each election.
3. On Election Day
You may register and vote at the voting site on any Election Day.
Any person registering to vote and voting on Election Day must have lived at their current address for at least 28 days before the election with no present intent to move and must provide an acceptable proof of residence document from the list below.
