If you didn’t avail yourself of the Wisconsin early voting period and intend to vote this Tuesday November 6th like I am…you might want to review a few items that have changed since 2008…assuming you only vote in Presidential elections! (btw: if you want to see my original post on this, click here!)
First and Foremost: IF YOU ARE A REGISTERED VOTER YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SHOW A PHOTO ID IN ORDER TO VOTE. NO PHOTO IDS! If someone asks you to show photo IDs kindly refuse to do so.
Anyone voting will however be required to sign the poll log just like in the primaries and the recall elections.
If you are not registered, you may still register on Tuesday at the polls. However you will need to provide proof of your legal residence as of OCTOBER 9, 2012 (For a full list of valid ID: gab.wi.gov/node/2550) If you have moved since that date you cannot register at your new address. You can not have another registered voter vouch for you as was past practice. HOWEVER, if you moved after October 9th, you may vote at your old address.
Don’t vote twice. If you early voted in person or submitted an absentee ballot you cannot vote in person on Tuesday November 6th. It is against the law!
AND, I will also post this separately, Blogging Blue’s friend, State Representative Christine Sinicki would like us to remind you that there is NO straight ticket voting. You will need to go down the ballot and vote in every race in your ward in order to make your selections!
