Voters encounter some problems at polls

…the names of some newly registered voters have not appeared on the new statewide voter registration list, created in response to a federal law passed in 2006. That’s likely happening because these individuals, most of whom are UW-Madison students, registered with groups that collect registrations and then mail them en masse to the municipal clerk’s office; if these registrations were mailed after Oct. 15, the official cut-off date, voters have to register again on Election Day.
