SB 629

Under current law, a U.S. citizen age 18 or older who has resided in a ward or

election district in this state for ten consecutive days may register to vote in an

election in this state only if the individual provides proof of residence. An individual

may establish his or her residence by presenting one of a variety of specified

documents, including a current and valid Wisconsin operator's license or

identification card, a real property tax bill or receipt for the current year or the year

preceding the date of the election, a paycheck or bank statement, or a utility bill for

the period commencing not earlier than 90 days before the day registration is made.

This bill permits an individual who cannot provide proof of residence through

one of the specified documents to register if another elector who lives with the

individual and who can provide proof of residence through one of the specified

documents corroborates the residence of the individual.
