Many seniors are eligible to vote this year! However, where and how to do so can sometimes be confusing.

MMSD has no school Tuesday, so you have plenty of time to get to your polling location, where election officials will help you register and complete your ballot. Officials are local Madisonians just like you and are there to help, so don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions! You can locate your polling place on the <a href=\"https:\/\/myvote.wi.gov\/en-us\/\">MyVote WI<\/a> website, at the \u201cFind My Polling Place\u201d page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to make a plan ahead of time to ensure that you can fill out your ballot on time. Polls close at 8 PM across Wisconsin, and as long as you are in line by then, you are eligible to vote, so stay in line! Look for when your specific polling place is open (most Wisconsin precincts close at 8:00 PM) and head there on Election Day to participate in the election. Please make sure to bring a valid form of ID\/proof of address (info also on the MyVote site) to your polling place! Voting can take as little as ten to fifteen minutes, but it can take longer too if there are lines, so get there early!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are still unsure about how or where to vote, simply go to the MyVote Wisconsin website for more information. If you can\u2019t find what you are looking for there, you can reach the State Elections Commission at elections@wi.gov or by calling (608)-266-8005.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Election Day is next Tuesday!
