Registering to Vote

VOTER REGISTRATION


To vote in Wisconsin you must first register to vote.

If you are a City of Hudson resident, you may register to vote in person at Hudson City Hall, 505 Third Street.

You may register on Election Day at your polling place. You may register to vote by mail. You may start the registration process online.

Regardless of which method you choose to register, your application must be accompanied by an acceptable proof of residency. If you register by mail, this proof must be mailed with your application and your application must be completely filled out, signed and dated.

A fillable version of the voter registration form can be found at this link: Wisconsin Voter Registration Form - Fillable (PDF)

The fillable form can also be printed to be completed by hand.

You may complete these forms and bring with you to register in person at City Hall. Forms are also available to complete when you register in person.
