Election & Voting Changes Beginning in 2012:

Beginning in 2012, voters will see many changes relative to Elections and voting.  Some of these changes include the following:

• No voter registration can occur on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday before an Election; however, voters can still register at the polls on Election Day.
• The requirement for residing in a municipality prior to an Election has changed from 10 days to 28 consecutive days.
• Voters can no longer use corroborating witnesses when registering to vote.
• In order to receive a ballot and vote, voters will be required to show a photo ID such as a driver's license, state-issued ID, passport, military identification card, certificate of naturalization, ID card issued by a federally recognized Indian tribe in Wisconsin, ID card issued by an accredited university or college in Wisconsin, or an unexpired driving receipt issued by the DOT.
• Voters will need to sign the poll book before receiving a ballot, but are exempt if unable to sign because of a physical disability.
• Absentee voting in the City Clerk's office will also require a photo ID, and is now restricted to the two weeks before an Election and will end at the close of business the Friday before an Election.  
• Absentee requests for ballots sent by mail, with some exceptions, must be accompanied by a photocopy of an acceptable form of voter ID.  NOTE:  The absentee request form asks if the elector would like the ballot faxed or emailed.  Only military and overseas electors have this option.  These forms have not as yet been updated by the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board.

The goal of the City of Cudahy is for all eligible voters to be able to cast a ballot and have that ballot counted.  Detailed information on Election procedures, including Voter Photo ID, can be obtained at the Cudahy City Clerk's office (5050 S. Lake Drive), by calling 769-2204, or can be found on the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board's website.  In addition, you can verify your current voter registration status directly at https://vpa.wi.gov/  

Redistricting:

Following the 2010 Federal Census with Cudahy's population at 18,267, the City was required to adjust ward boundaries to conform to statutorily prescribed population ranges.  The Cudahy Common Council adopted this ward map which will be effective January 1, 2012.  Postcards informing registered voters of their ward and polling location are expected to be mailed in early 2012.  Polling locations will remain as shown below.
