Voting in Wisconsin

Welcome to the WCC Voter Resource Center. This election season and beyond, we aim to equip our membership and the general community with a one-stop shop of resources to aid people in their journey as well-informed voters and citizens. A well-informed and empowered electorate strengthens our democracy and reflects our values and the type of world that we want to live in.

Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.” - FDR

Democracy is not a spectator sport; it takes people willing to be educated, empowered, and organized to protect and advance the civic institutions in our society. Please look at our various tools to help you become a more informed and active voter/citizen.
