As of January 1, 2006 all Berry’s residents will need to have registered with the Town prior to voting.

The federal “Help American Vote Act of 2002” requires any person registering to vote to supply his or her Wisconsin Department of Transportation-issued driver’s license number. 

Electors who have not been issued a Wisconsin driver’s license must provide the last four digits of their Social Security Number OR their Wisconsin state ID card number. 

If the elector does not have a current, valid Wisconsin driver’s license, Wisconsin state ID card, or Social Security Number, the applicant may indicate this by filling in the appropriate box on the registration form.  (Box 7 on EL-131) 

Contact the town clerk at 767-4152 if you have not filled out a Voter Registration Form (EL-131) or download the form here.

Anyone wishing to vote has three options to register: 

1.     BY MAIL:  Download the Application for Voter Registration (EL-131), complete the form and mail it to Town of Berry, 9046 State Road 19, Mazomanie, WI 53560. The application must be postmarked no later than the 20th day (3rd Wednesday) before the election.
