How to Register to Vote for the Spring Election amid COVID-19

Monday, March 30 is the deadline for electors to register to vote online for the Presidential Preference Primary and Spring Election. After this date, electors must register in person in the municipal clerk's office or at the polling place on election day. 

Greenville will be taking in-person registrations by appointment only beginning Thursday, March 19, 2020, and until the Friday before the election on April 3.   To schedule an appointment to register, please contact the Town Clerk at (920) 757-5151 Ext. 1100.

According to state law, mailed voter registration forms must be postmarked no later than the third Wednesday before the election. Online registration closes at 11:59 p.m. the same day.

Online voter registration is available at https://myvote.wi.gov. There are two ways you can register using the website:

  • People with a Wisconsin driver license or state ID card whose address is current with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation can complete their online registration immediately. People who need to update their address with DOT can accomplish that online and complete their online registration.
  • People without a Wisconsin driver license or state ID card can fill out the voter registration form online, then print it, sign it and mail it to their municipal clerk’s office along with a proof of -residence document. The website has detailed instructions. If you do not have a printer where you are, you can save the completed form as a PDF and make arrangements to have a family member or a friend with a printer, or a copy center, to print it for you.
Voter registration forms that can be printed and filled out by hand are also available here in English: https://elections.wi.gov/forms/el-131-fillable

Voter registration forms that can be printed and filled out by hand are also available here in Spanish: https://elections.wi.gov/forms/el-131-spanish

Remember, the deadline to register online or by mail is Wednesday, March 18.

Again, voters who miss the deadline may also register in their municipal clerk’s office (by appointment only) until the Friday before the election, April 3 or at the polls on election day.

Please note:  Due to the ever-evolving response to COVID-19, this information may be updated and revised under the guidance and direction of the Wisconsin Election Commission.
