It all comes down to Tuesday. Republicans banked a strong in-person early vote over the last two weeks, but early voting is over, and every race on the ballot, from governor on down, gets decided by who shows up on November 3. If you haven’t voted yet, here’s everything you need.

Find Your Polling Place
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, November 3. If you are in line by 8 p.m., you get to vote.
You have to vote at the polling place assigned to your address, and it may not be the same spot where people voted early. Look up your polling place on MyVote Wisconsin before you go.
Not registered, or moved since the last election? You can still register at your polling place on Election Day. Bring a photo ID and a proof-of-residence document (more on that below).
What to Bring
Wisconsin requires a photo ID to vote in person. The address on it doesn’t have to be current. These IDs are accepted:
- Wisconsin driver’s license or state ID card (no Real ID star needed, and a suspended or revoked license still counts)
- U.S. passport book or card
- U.S. uniformed service military ID
- Veteran ID card from the Veterans Health Administration (must be unexpired or have no expiration date)
- ID card from a federally recognized tribe in Wisconsin
- Certificate of naturalization issued within the last two years
- Wisconsin DMV driver’s license or ID card receipt (good for 45 days) or ID Petition Process receipt (good for 60 days)
- Wisconsin college, university, or technical college student ID with an issue date, your signature, and an expiration date no more than two years out (if it’s expired, bring proof of current enrollment)
A driver’s license, state ID, passport, or military ID still works if it expired after the November 5, 2024 general election.
Registering at the polls? You also need proof of residence showing your name and current address. A Wisconsin driver’s license or state ID with your current address works, and as do a utility bill from the last 90 days, a bank or credit card statement, a paycheck, or a residential lease. A document on your phone is fine.
Still Holding an Absentee Ballot?
Your municipal clerk must receive your absentee ballot by 8 p.m. on Election Day. Hand-deliver it to your clerk’s office, or wherever your clerk directs for Election Day returns. Find your clerk here and track your ballot here.
See a Problem? Report It
Republicans have trained observers and lawyers ready to respond statewide. If you see a polling place that opens late, a voter turned away without cause, electioneering near the entrance, an observer blocked from watching, or anything else that doesn’t look right, report it right away. Write down the time, the location, and who was involved.
