Make Voter Registration Drives Easier
Support legislation to allow Wisconsin County Clerks to appoint Special Registration Deputies (SRD's) to register voters throughout the entire county. Currently, in order to register voters who are from other municipalities, the SRD must go to each municipality for training and appointment. This is inefficient for both clerks and SRD’s, involving multiple training, appointing, and recordkeeping across the borders of over 1850 municipalities. See fairelectionswi.org
Why is this important?
Many of us volunteered to register voters recently, but were frustrated when we had to turn people away because they lived in a different municipality. The system should be changed to provide a more equal opportunity for people to register with Special Registration Deputies.
