Wisconsin is one of the few states where voters can register and vote on the very same day. A person who would like to register should bring a state issued ID card (this includes a driver's license) to the polls, prepare to give the last four digits of their social security number and bring in a "proof of residence". This can be a bill or lease which demonstrates that they have lived at their current address more than ten days.http://gab.wi.gov/elections-voting/voters/registration-voting
