Here's what you need to help voters register to vote, obtain the required
voter photo ID, and cast a ballot that will be counted.

A library liaison to a specific Dane County library works with staff to make that library a place where patrons get correct and timely information about elections and voting; assistance with registering to vote, obtaining Voter ID; information about what is on their ballot, and more.

To learn more about becoming a Library Liaison contact Kathy Fullin.

Senior liaisons “adopt” a senior center or senior living complex and work to educate their residents and visitors about voting issues.

Liaisons identify a contact at the senior center/housing complex who can authorize their actions. Liaisons ensure that relevant posters, flyers, and forms are available for residents and visitors. They may submit a brief article about voting requirements and upcoming elections for publication in the local newsletter. Liaisons may be able to arrange a time to assist seniors with online voter registration or help answer questions about what they need to register or to request an absentee ballot. Shirley Haidinger is the lead on this project.

In this project, League members offer to assist town and village clerks to provide information to voters. The goal is to ensure that up-to-date and accurate voting information is available to voters through municipal clerks’ offices. Liaisons, with the help of the team leader, consider how to approach local clerks and determine what kind of feedback and assistance they are open to receiving. Based on what the clerk and liaison agree will be most helpful, clerk liaisons may offer suggestions for updating the clerk’s website, prepare articles for local newspapers, hold tabling events, or post voting information on social media. Resource material for clerk liaisons includes a list of desirable voting information for municipal clerk websites, suggestions for how to approach their municipal clerks, and periodic information about upcoming elections. 

League members interested in working with town or village clerks could help us expand the impact of our program. Gail Krc is the project lead.

Outreach to College Students

LWVDC is active on college campuses in Madison, helping students to register, obtain valid photo ID, and understand their options for casting a ballot.

UW-Madison

Although the UW-Madison senior administration no longer permits outside organizations to conduct voter registration events on campus, LWVDC maintains close ties with the university and continues to promote civic engagement and voting among students. 

  • As a community member of the UW-Madison BadgersVote Coalition, LWVDC is one of a handful of community organizations that partners with university members of the coalition to support campus efforts to encourage student voting and civic engagement.

  • LWVDC-funded student interns, usually two per academic year, work with other interns through the Student Voters Union (SVU) to educate, empower and mobilize student voters. 

  • In addition to SVU, LWVDC partners with organizations such as Associated Students of Madison, the Campus Vote Project and UW Hillel Foundation to extend our mission to empower student voters.

Madison College

In collaboration with student life specialists on campus, LWVDC regularly holds voter outreach events at Madison College, assisting students with voter registration and providing election information.

Edgewood University

Student interns from Edgewood University have assisted with many LWVDC projects, including forums and voter outreach events. In recent elections, interns have facilitated voter registration tabling on campus during the lead-up to in-person absentee voting and election day.
