Moving comes with a long checklist — boxes, address changes, utilities…and don’t forget your voter registration! 📦🏠
Wisconsin law requires voters to meet the residency requirements for the municipality and voting district where they cast their ballot. Intentionally voting when you do not meet the required voter qualifications and residency requirements is election fraud under **Wis. Stat. § 12.13(1)(a)**.
If you’ve moved, take a moment before Election Day to make sure you know where you should vote. Wisconsin generally requires you to live at your new address for **28 consecutive days before an election** to vote from that address. If you moved within Wisconsin fewer than 28 days before Election Day, Wisconsin law generally directs you to vote from your **former ward or municipality**, if you are otherwise qualified to vote there.
✅ Moved 28 days or more before Election Day? Make sure your voter registration reflects your new residence.
✅ Moved within Wisconsin fewer than 28 days before Election Day? You may still need to vote at your former ward or municipality for that election.
🏠 **Your residence determines where you vote and which ballot you receive.**
