Why It Matters
Elections present voters with important choices. Whether it is a local race that will affect your community or a national race that could change the direction of the country, elections are a time to consider the issues that you care about and decide which candidate you support.
You have more power with your vote in local elections because there are fewer votes per race, and you vote for issues that directly impact your communities. Your local government makes decisions that directly affect you, your family, friends, and neighbors. The local government makes decisions about schools, affordable housing, water quality, public transit, how millions of tax dollars are spent and more. All these decisions affect your life in some way.
Your plan to vote this year starts at MyVote.wi.gov where you can find all the information you need to prepare, including important dates, where your local polling place is, what’s on your ballot, how to register to vote, and your municipal clerk’s information.
We hold the power at the ballot – All people deserve to have their voices heard and their communities represented. Be a voice for your community through the power of your vote. Make a plan to vote in every election!
