The Door County League of Women Voters is alerting residents who wanna get back to the polls for future elections of how to make that process smoother. The Wisconsin Elections Commission is sending postcards to voters who haven’t voted since 2016. The LWV is encouraging those receiving the cards to fill out the requested info and send it back within the required thirty days. The postcard asks recipients whether they want to remain a registered voter at that address or if you want to update it.
There are approximately 187,000 people who will be sent these cards, and those who don’t send the cards back will be removed from the voting list, and will be required to re-register. The Door County LWV Voter Service Coordinator Dan Powers notes that making sure your voter registration is up to date now will save time on election day.
Powers also reminds residents who’ve moved, even a very short distance since the last time they registered, to update their information. More on updating voter registration can be found on the WEC site.
