Door County League of Women Voters urging early voter registration

Even though there are no fall elections locally, that shouldn’t stop you from making sure you’re registered well before you head to the voting booth next year. Door County League of Women Voters is urging you to take Voter Registration Day on September 28th as an opportunity to make sure your information is updated or that you get yourself into the voter rolls. They also want Door County to build off its 2020 momentum when it achieved a high voter turnout. 

 

The next time you vote may not be until 2022, but League President Pat Scieszinski says there are advantages to registering early, including skipping long voting lines. By registering early, you’re also assured well before going to cast your vote that it will count, and you save the election day hassle. Scieszinski also stresses the importance of updating your voter registration. This needs to be done if you got married, changed your name or if you’ve moved, even if to a residence in the same town, says Scieszinski. 

 

 

You’re also encouraged to register if you’ve recently turned 18. Scieszinski encourages you to check your voter status ahead of Voter Registration Day by going to myvote.wi.gov, where you can see if your registration is current and sign up if needed. The League of Women Voters isn’t allowed to register you to vote, but they do plan to hold events to draw awareness to registration throughout Door County this year. Scieszinski adds that if you have proper proof of residence and a valid I.D., the registration process won’t be difficult.
