Hey Wisconsin! Stephen Colbert wants to help all Wisconsinites exercise their right to vote in the 2020 election. The guidelines for registering to vote and voting by mail can be confusing so here are all the resources you need to make a plan to vote!

Have early-voted in the past. Will put ballots in drop box outside city hall (me and Mr AC).

I voted absentee for the primary, planned on doing it again, but I got a card in the mail about options for early voting, so I'm thinking I may do that for the first time. And Colbert is right, this time around we really do need to plan how we intend to vote. Good for you that you're ready, this really is the most important election of our lifetime.

If I don't receive my absentee ballot in the mail, I plan on voting early in-person at my city hall. Here early voting begins October 20.

You can check the status of your absentee ballot at this link (among other things): https://myvote.wi.gov/en-US/MyVoterInformation

I was going to vote absentee like I did in the primary, but now I'm thinking I'll vote early, too - avoid the rush and any complications involving the mail.
