There are just a dozen days until election day on November 8, when Wisconsinites will cast ballots for U.S. Senator, Governor, Secretary of State, and a bevy of other statewide offices.
For more on party strategy on these statewide efforts, 8 O’Clock Buzz host Andy Moore sits down with the heads of our local chapter for both parties.
Our guests are Scott Grabins, the Chair of the Republican Party of Dane County, and Alexia Sabor, Chair of the Democratic Party of Dane County.
Voting information:
The 2022 General Election takes place on Tuesday, November 8. If you haven’t voted before, or have moved or changed your name since the last time you voted, you’ll need to register to vote. The deadline to register to vote by mail or online has passed, so you’ll now need to register in person.
You can register at your municipal clerk’s office, or at your polling place, either on election day or during early voting.
Early voting is now open across the City of Madison, and elsewhere across Wisconsin. Times and locations vary. To find details on early voting in Madison, click here.
All voters in Wisconsin can request an absentee ballot be mailed to them. Voters must be registered before they can request an absentee ballot. The deadline to request an absentee ballot is November 3 at 5pm, but you are encouraged to request your absentee ballot earlier to ensure that it is received and counted by Election Day.
MyVote Wisconsin maintains a list of deadlines for voting in this election. There, you can also register to vote, see what’s on your ballot, and find your polling place. If you have questions, you’re encouraged to check with your local municipal clerk. You can look up your municipal clerk here. The Madison Clerk’s Office webpage is here.
The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin maintains a helpful list of voting information and frequently asked questions here, and also has información del votante en espanol.
