Proof of Residence
Only items on this list count as proof-of-residence.  Junk mail does not count.
·      a current and valid Wisconsin driver’s license.
·      a current and valid Wisconsin I.D. card.
·      any other official I.D. card or license issued by a Wisconsin governmental body or unit.
·      any employer-issued photo I.D. card, issued in the normal course of business, but not including a business card.
·      a university, college or technical college fee card or I.D. card with your photo and current address.
·      a utility bill (e.g., gas, electric, cable TV or telephone) for the period commencing not earlier than 90 days before
       election day.
·      a bank statement
·      a real estate (i.e., property) tax bill or receipt for the current year or the year preceding the date of the election 
·      a current residential lease which is effective for a period that includes election day (NOT for first-time voters    
       registering by mail, however).  
·      a pay check or a government check or other document issued by unit of government.

All forms of proof  must contain a complete name, including both the first and last name; and a current and complete residential address, including a numbered street address, if any, and the name of a municipality.  Forms which have an expiration date must be valid on election day in order to constitute acceptable proof of residence at that election.

 

 If you don’t have written proof, bring a friend (with identification) who lives in the same municipality.  This person can serve as a corroborator (witness) to verify your address.  He or she does not need to be a registered voter but must provide proof of residence, which must be in the same municipality.

Registration Options       
Voters may register by mail by completing the Application for Voter Registration and mailing it to the Town of Westport, 5387 Mary Lake Road, Waunakee, WI  53597.  The application must be postmarked no later than the 20th day (3rd Wednesday) before the election.  In addition, first-time Wisconsin voters registering to vote by mail must also provide a copy of proof of residence.

You may register to vote in person at the Westport Kennedy Administration Building at 5387 Mary Lake Road, Waunakee, WI  53597 during regular open office hours. You are required to provide your driver's license number on the registration form.  In addition, please make sure to bring along an acceptable proof-of-residence.

If the person registering on election day has a valid Wisconsin driver’s license, he or she must provide the number to the registration deputy. If the person registering does not have the driver’s license number with him/her, or refuses to provide the number, the person may vote a provisional ballot. The person must then provide the number to the municipal clerk by 4:00 the next afternoon in order for his/her vote to be counted. If the person does not have a valid Wisconsin driver’s license, he or she may provide the last 4 digits of his/her social security number or his/her Wisconsin ID card number, and he/she will be permitted to vote.

Voter Public Access
(click on link to view release)

Voter Public Access gives the public a new means of getting information about voter registration, voting history, normal polling place locations, current office holders, and sample ballots for upcoming elections.  Voters who do not find registration information about themselves in Voter Public Access should try using a birth date of 01/01/1900.  If this works, it means that the clerk does not have the voter's correct birth date on file, but the person is still registered to vote.  http://vpa.wi.gov
