What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
