Voter Registration
If you have not voted before, or if you have moved since you last voted, you need to register to vote. There are several ways to register to vote:
Register online: If you have a Wisconsin driver’s license or state ID card and your address has been updated with the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles, you may register online at https://myvote.wi.gov/en-us/ . .
Register by mail: Send your completed and signed registration form, along with proof of residence, to the Appleton City Clerk’s Office, 100 N. Appleton Street, Appleton WI 54911.
Register in person: Visit City Hall and register in person with the City Clerk’s Office.
To speed up the process, please access the registration form online and have it filled out when you go in, or fill out the hardcopy form prior to arriving at the counter. Please be sure to take proof of your current residence.
Register at the polls: Go to your polling place on Election Day and register in person. You will be able to vote immediately after completing registration, so be sure to take your proof of residence as well as your photo ID.
