[Disclaimer: Yes I'm a Hong supporter, but whoever the dem gubernatorial nominee is on Wednesday, they will have my full support and I will continue volunteering with the WisDems, irrespective of outcome. Just felt the need to say that upfront given the state of the subreddit right now.]

If you are registered to vote and are doing so on election day, make sure to have valid photo ID.

If you are not registered to vote, you will need to register at the polling location, which will also require you to provide proof of residence, such as a utility bill for where you live.

Another thing to remember is that this is a partisan primary election, so you cannot vote for multiple candidates in multiple parties. You must choose one party to support in this election.

Polls are open from 7AM to 8PM, so plan accordingly and remember that state law says if you are in line by 8, then you must be allowed to vote.

While most of this will be known to experienced voters, try to remind any new voters you've rounded up this cycle of these points so they are prepared for Tuesday.

Also, and this one is a newer issue, if you have placed any bets or wagers on the primary outcome, you cannot vote in this election. There are platforms that allow people to place money on election outcomes and if you participate in these, your vote may be administratively disqualified. You may also be referred to the district attorney for criminal charges. [Kind of ridiculous that this needs to be said, in my opinion, and that election gambling was even legalized in the first place, but if you have chosen to participate in this then you must sit out the election]

Only around 1/4 of eligible voters show up for primaries, so make your voice heard on Tuesday, Aug 11!

That is all
