What are Badger Books? Badger Books are an electronic version of the paper poll book. These electronic poll books work the same as the paper poll books but with some added features. Badger Books are used to check in voters, process Election Day registrations, and record absentee ballot participation. Electronic poll books ensure consistency, efficiency, and make end of election day activities easier and more accurate. Are Badger Books safe? First and foremost, Badger Books were custom made for Wisconsin elections by the Wisconsin Elections Commission. Badger Books are not connected to the internet or to any other outside source. They are connected only to each other by a private network within the polling place. From the voter perspective, the actual process of voting does not change at all. Voters still have the choice to vote using paper ballots or electronic voting machines, and voters still place those ballots in the tabulator. The tabulator is not connected to the Badger Books in any way, so no voting data is stored on the Badger Books — ensuring your ballot choices stay secret! What are the benefits of Badger Books?
  • Badger Books can shorten lines on Election Day by speeding up important Election Day tasks, including the process for same day voter registration and the process for checking in voters at their polling place.
  • Simplify the process at the polls because voters are no longer required to get in a line based on their last name.
  • Maintain the voter number and count independent of poll worker input.
  • Badger Books dramatically speed up important post-election data collection and reporting, making tasks that once took clerks hours to complete, now take minutes.
  • They also reduce the possibility for human error in post-election data collection and reporting.
  • Badger Books have the entire statewide database so that a poll worker can look up any registered voter in the State of Wisconsin. Poll workers will be able to tell the voter if they are at the right polling location, what forms of ID are accepted, etc.
On Election Day
  • Voter will still state their name and address
  • Poll worker will look up the information in the Badger Book
  • Voter shows proper photo identification
  • Badger Books screen provides all valid types of ID selections that can be used including specific expiration dates
  • Poll worker turns the Badger Books screen around and the voter signs with finger or stylus
  • Machine automatically prints a voter number slip that informs the poll worker of the proper ballot to issue the voter
Registration on Election Day
  • Badger Books will ask the poll worker to input what type of ID they received and select what type of Proof of Residence (POR) the voter provided
  • Election day registration information is encrypted.

Voters must sign the electronic poll book to obtain a ballot.  The poll book contains a signature block for each voter.

Voters unable to sign the poll book because of a physical disability are exempt from this requirement.  If this applies to you, tell the election officials that you are unable to sign because of a disability.  Election officials will input “exempt” in your signature block.
