Welcome to Voter Service Central!

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.

Training

Our voter outreach volunteers must have training. The following materials from the training are available for review:

• Video modules on specific topics:

  • Online Voter Registration

  • Paper Registration

  • Proof of Residence

  • Voter ID

  • Helping Voters Register

  • Behavior & Communication

• PowerPoint presentation (Updated 2/2023)

  • one slide/page with speaker notes

  • three slides/page

  • six slides/page

reporting

We expect voter outreach volunteers to track and report their activity. Please print a log form to use at your event, then enter the data online after the event.

Outreach Programs

Links on the sidebar will take you to separate pages for Apartment Outreach, Library Liaisons, High School Voter Education (note: site is under construction!), Municipal Clerk Liaisons, Senior Center Liaisons and assisting UW Students. We are also a lead partner in the Dane County Voter ID Coalition, which manages the Voter Helpline, among other projects.

RESOURCES FOR PLANNING AND EXECUTING VOTER OUTREACH

• A quick chart for those helping voters with registration, whether using OVR or paper forms. (12/2022)

• Planning a voter outreach event? Adapt this planning guide to your own event.

• A “How to Vote” flyer in English and Spanish, with general information about voting (not election-specific). If you are looking for pre-printed copies for an outreach project, please contact Kerry in our office at least a week in advance of when you need them.

• Review our Voter Service Central Materials Catalog to see what print materials are available to use at outreach events. Note LWV materials are only available for use with the permission of the LWVDC. Any materials that use the LWV name or logo must be preapproved.

• If you encounter technical issues when assisting voters with MyVote, please report the problem, so we can use your experience to improve our training and alert the WEC to issues with the software.

All Voting Is Local, an LWVWI partner organization, provides these talking points on How to respond to voter concerns about voter security, voter fraud, and absentee voting.
