Voter Registration

myvote.wi.gov is the State of Wisconsin website for voter registration, updating your address, or applying for an absentee ballot. However, in-office registration is required during the last 20 days prior to an election. You will need to bring a photo ID and proof of residency to register.

Proof of residency can be a Wisconsin driver’s license, a utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, government document, or lease. The document must include your name at your Town of Christiana address. It is possible to register at the polls on Election Day, but plan on spending some extra time.

Photo Identification

A Photo ID is required to vote. The most common types of acceptable photo ID include: a Wisconsin DOT-issued driver's license, a Wisconsin DOT-issued identification card, a Military ID card issued by the U.S. Uniformed Services, or a U.S. passport book or card. The photo ID is only for proof of your identity, it does NOT require your current address, but cannot be expired after the date of the last federal election. 

IMPORTANT: An out-of-state driver’s license is not an acceptable ID in Wisconsin! However, a Wisconsin driver’s license or passport may be expired if the expiration date is after November 8, 2022 (the date of the last federal election). There are other forms of acceptable ID for voting purposes; go to: www.bringit.wi.gov.

In-Person Absentee Voting
When the ballots arrive, in-person absentee voting is available at the Town Hall during regular office hours or by appointment. Please call the Town Hall for any questions regarding In-Person Absentee Voting.

Absentee Ballot Requests
You must be registered to vote in order to receive a ballot. The easiest way to request an absentee ballot is by going online to myvote.wi.gov. An acceptable Photo ID must accompany the absentee ballot request. An absentee ballot request can be made at any time and ballots will be mailed out when available. The deadline to request an absentee ballot to be mailed is the Thursday before the election. If returning your ballot via mail, please remember to give your ballot plenty of time to make its way through the mail system to be returned to the clerk by 8pm on Election Day. Absentee ballots must be returned either via mail or in-person to the clerk by 8 pm on Election Day.

Due to recent court rulings any Absentee ballots returned physically in-person MUST be physically handed to the clerk by the voter, unless the voter is unable to do so due to a disability. Any Absentee ballots returned by someone other than the voter, unless a disability prohibits the voter from returning it personally, will not be cast and the ballot will be marked for rejection.
