The following information is right from the city of Green Bay's website on how to register to vote.  It is very easy to do.  Many people fought and died to give us this right, I urge anyone and everyone to honor them by voting.

Voting Information

Green Bay residents may register to vote at the City Clerk's office during regular business hours except Election Day, or by mail usuing the voter resistration application form. Please read the instructions carefully. On Election Day, you may register to vote at your polling place. Be sure to bring proof of residence. You will be asked for your Wisconsin drivers license number, State ID number or is not issued, the last four digits of your social security number. See a list of acceptable ID's>>

Polling Places are open on Election Day from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

If you are unable to get to your polling location on Election Day, you can vote at the City of Green Bay Clerk/Treasurer's Office any time between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. during the three weeks prior to Election Day (4 weeks for a Federal Election). On the day before an election, the Clerk's office will remain open until 5:00 p.m. for absentee voting. Additionally, you may obtain a ballot in the mail by completing the Voter Absentee Ballot Request Form. This request has to be made by 5:00 p.m. the Thursday before Election Day (for military request by 5:00 p.m. the Friday before Election Day). Deadline for Absentee Ballets in person at the Clerk's Office by 5:00 p.m. the Monday before Election Day.


WHAT DOCUMENTS CAN BE USED FOR PROOF OF RESIDENCE?

Documents you can use as proof of residence include:

  • a current and valid Wisconsin driver’s license.

  • a current and valid Wisconsin I.D. card.

  • any other official I.D. card or license issued by a Wisconsin governmental body or unit.

  • any employer-issued photo I.D. card, issued in the normal course of business, but not including a business card.

  • a university, college or technical college fee card or I.D. card with your photo and current address. **

** May be used even if the card does not contain the cardholder’s address, if the educational institution provides a certified student list for use at the polling place

  • a utility bill (e.g., gas, electric, cable TV or telephone) for the period commencing not earlier than 90 days before election day.

  • a bank statement

  • a real estate (i.e., property) tax bill or receipt for the current year or the year preceding the date of the election 

  • a current residential lease which is effective for a period that includes election day (NOT for first-time voters registering by mail, however).

Whatever form of proof you supply must contain a complete name, including both the first and last name; and a current and complete residential address, including a numbered street address, if any, and the name of a municipality.  Forms which have an expiration date must be valid on election day in order to constitute acceptable proof of residence at that election.

If you don’t have written proof, bring a friend (with identification) who lives in the same municipality.  This person can serve as a corroborator (witness) to verify your address.  He or she does not need to be a registered voter but must provide proof of residence, which must be in the same municipality.
