media release:

The City of Madison Clerk’s Office put together a top five list of things to know for tomorrow’s Spring Election.

1. Many polling places have changed due to redistricting. To verify your polling location, visit www.cityofmadison.com/WhereDoIVote.
2. The address on the ID you use for voting does not matter. When checking your photo ID, election officials are verifying your identity. They are not checking the address on your ID. Just make sure you have an acceptable ID for voting in Wisconsin.
3. You can register to vote at the polls. If you are registering to vote for the first time or you are updating your voter registration, you will need to show the election officials proof of residence. Your proof of residence document may be shown on paper or in an electronic format, e.g. your online utility bill, bank statement, City of Madison assessment, or My UW account.
4. Your absentee ballot must be returned by Election Day in order to be counted. Election officials at your polling place will insert your absentee ballot into the tabulator to be counted. If you haven’t mailed your ballot back to the Clerk’s Office yet, you can take your absentee ballot sealed inside your completed absentee envelope to your polling place on Tuesday. No one but you can return your absentee ballot. You can track the status of your absentee ballot under the Track My Ballot section on the MyVote Wisconsin website.
5. You can view a sample ballot for your address before heading to the polls. There are several state, county, municipal, and school board races on this ballot. Prepare yourself ahead of Election Day by checking out a sample ballot for your address on the MyVote Wisconsin website.

We intend to give you the correct ballot. If we mistakenly hand you an incorrect ballot, please tell an election official before you insert your ballot into the tabulator to be counted.

Do not hesitate to contact the Clerk’s Office if you have a question or encounter a problem at your polling place: (608) 266-4601.

media release: Many polling places in the City of Madison have changed because of redistricting. The City of Madison Clerk’s Office sent postcards to voters in areas impacted by polling place changes in early March.

The City Clerk’s Office encourages you to confirm your polling place before heading out to vote on April 5. You can look up your polling place address using the MyVote Wisconsin website or go to www.cityofmadison.com/WhereDoIVote. A list can also be found here: https://www.cityofmadison.com/news/city-of-madison-polling-place-listing-0

media release: In-person absentee voting will begin Tuesday, Mar. 22, at several locations throughout the city of Madison.

What will you need to bring with you if you’re voting absentee in person?

• An acceptable photo ID for voting in Wisconsin.
• If you need to register for the first time or update your registration because of a move or name change, you will need to bring a proof of residence document with you, too.

Because we have dozens of ballot styles citywide, we use the ExpressVote accessible ballot-marking device for in-person absentee voting.

Voters who have requested an absentee ballot by mail can return their completed absentee ballot to an in-person absentee voting location during the location’s voting hours.

At the end of the voting shift for the day, your absentee ballot will be brought to the Clerk's Office in a courier bag with a tamper-evident seal.  The unique serial number on the tamper-evident seal is documented on a chain-of-custody form, as is the number of absentee envelopes sealed in the courier bag.
