Wisconsin statutes and administrative rules establish the cost of purchasing WisVote data. The price is $25 plus $5 per 1,000 voter records, rounded to the nearest 1,000. The minimum charge is $30 and the maximum cost is $12,500 (2.5 million or more voter records). Rather than first contacting Wisconsin Elections Commission staff or a municipal or county clerk, individuals can make any of six standard requests independently through the Badger Voters website. These include:
- all statewide registered voters
- all registered voters in a jurisdiction or district
- voters from specific elections
- absentees from a specific election
- absentee requests within a given date range
Passports

the office. Passports are accepted 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. week days, except holidays.
Processing times have changed significantly per the US Department of State. Routine service processing is now 4-6 weeks. Expedited can now take 2-3 weeks. There are certain requirements to expedite. Please see the US Department of State’s website for more information, as it does change often.
