Voters will not be required to show photo identification until 2012, but state law requires Election Officials to begin asking to see photo ID this summer. Voters who do not have a Wisconsin photo ID card may still vote a regular ballot this year.

Voters will be required to sign or make their mark on the poll book before receiving a ballot. This change in state law is effective immediately. Voters who are unable to sign due to a disability are exempt from this requirement.

Eligible voters may register at the polls on Election Day if they have resided at their new address for at least 28 consecutive days immediately preceding the election. Voters who have moved within the last 28 days will need to vote from their previous address.

A corroborating witness is no longer an acceptable form of proof of residence under the recent changes to state law. The following items may be used as proof of residence at the polls tomorrow as long as they are current and list the voter's name at his or her current address:
• Utility bill (up to 90 days old)
• Wisconsin Driver's License
• ID Card issued by Wisconsin Department of Transportation
• Bank statement
• Tax bill
• Residential lease
• Paycheck
• Government check or document
