Miller Park to host Voter Registration Day

The city of Milwaukee Election Commission and Milwaukee Brewers will host the first statewide Voter Registration Drive-Thru at Miller Park on Tuesday, Sept. 22 from 2-7 p.m. in support of National Voter Registration Day. The massive country-wide effort focuses on educating citizens about the voting process and registering them to participate in local and general elections.

The Drive-Thru at Miller Park is open to all Wisconsin residents. Further, participants are encouraged to request an absentee ballot which will be mailed to the voter’s home with further direction on how to return. Detailed information on Brewers.com/VoteWI.

The Voter Registration Drive-Thru will be staffed by volunteers from Wisconsin Voices.

To participate:

• Please bring an acceptable proof of address. A valid photo ID is required to request an absentee ballot in most circumstances.

• Participants are asked to stay in their cars and follow signage through Miller Park where they will be met by a volunteer, in appropriate PPE, to help them through the process.

• In compliance with the state-wide mask policy, participants are asked to please wear a mask when interacting with volunteers.

• Walk-up registrants cannot be accommodated due to COVID-19 precautions and are instead directed to MyVote.wi.gov to receive more information about in-person registration help.

This is the first of two Drive-Thru efforts taking place at Miller Park, part of Major League Baseball’s efforts to support voting initiatives. Miller Park will also serve as a Drive-Thru location for the City of Milwaukee during Early Voting, Oct. 20-Nov. 1.

Thousands of national, state, and local organizations and volunteers will be the driving force behind National Voter Registration Day 2020. Partner organizations will coordinate hundreds of National Voter Registration Day events on and offline nationwide, asking voters to get #VoteReady in all social media platforms to drive attention to voter registration.
