How do primaries work in Wisconsin?

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Wisconsin utilizes an open primary system; registered voters do not have to be members of a party to vote in that party's primary.[2][3][4][5]

How do I register to vote?

To register to vote in Wisconsin, one must be a citizen of the United States and a resident of Wisconsin for at least 28 days prior to the election. A voter must be at least 18 years of age.[6][7]

One can register by mailing a form to the local municipal clerk. An individual can also register in person at the municipal clerk's office. If registering by mail, the application must be postmarked no later than 20 days before the election. In-person registration must be completed by 5 p.m. on the Friday before Election Day. Same-day voter registration is also available, as long as the registrant provides proof of residency at the polls.[6]


Is there an early voting period?

See also: Early voting

Wisconsin permits early voting. Learn more by visiting this website.

As of August 2020, 38 states and the District of Columbia permitted early voting. Early voting permits citizens to cast ballots in person at a polling place prior to an election. In states that permit early voting, a voter does not have to provide an excuse for being unable to vote on election day. States that do not permit early voting still permit some or all citizens to vote early by mail—often known as absentee voting. Some states allow no-excuse absentee voting, while others require an excuse. States that allow in-person absentee voting without an excuse are counted among early voting states.

Who is eligible for absentee voting?

All voters are eligible to vote absentee in Wisconsin. There are no special eligibility requirements for voting absentee.[9]

To vote absentee, an application must be received by the municipal clerk no later than 5 p.m. on the Thursday before Election Day. If mailed through the U.S. Postal Service, a returned absentee ballot 'must be postmarked no later than Election Day and received by the municipal clerk no later than 4 p.m. on the Friday after the election.' For other means of delivery, the completed ballot must be 'delivered to the municipal clerk no later than 8 p.m. on Election Day.'[9]
