Milwaukee County is gearing up to ensure its residents are registered and prepped for the upcoming electoral proceedings, tying into the nationwide observance of National Voter Registration Day. Come September 17, Milwaukee County Clerk George Christenson and Milwaukee County Elections Director Michelle Hawley will spearhead local initiatives bolstering this democratic engagement.
According to a media advisory on the county's official website, the Milwaukee County Courthouse Rotunda and the concourse at American Family Field will serve as the staging grounds for voter registration and educational endeavors – the former from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and the latter from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Residents looking to register can bring documents such as a Wisconsin Driver License or State ID Card, utility bill, or bank statement as proof of residence. At these events, Milwaukee County Election Commission staff will be on hand to assist with any questions and facilitate the registration process, with the October 16 cutoff for online registration.
For those opting for the modern convenience, registration, is also available online through the MyVote.wi.gov portal. Here, Milwaukee County residents can verify their registration status, sign up if necessary, and even request an absentee ballot. For additional support, the Milwaukee County Election Commission can be reached at 414-278-4060 for inquiries.
