Bill Summary
Under current law, with limited exceptions, an otherwise eligible voter must be a resident of Wisconsin and of the municipality and ward, if any, where the voter is voting for 28 days before an election in order to vote in the election in that municipality and ward. This bill shortens that residency requirement from 28 days to 10 days.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to shorten the residency requirement for voting in Wisconsin from 28 consecutive days to 10 consecutive days before an election, meaning an otherwise eligible citizen must have lived in their voting district or ward for at least 10 days to cast a ballot. This change applies to various aspects of voter eligibility and registration, including when a voter must cast their ballot in their previous location if they move within the state, how to register to vote, and the conditions under which a voter can cast a presidential ballot if they have recently moved to Wisconsin. The bill also adjusts related deadlines for absentee ballot applications and extends the privilege of voting for military personnel and those in transient vocations to the new 10-day residency period.
