Assembly Bill 534 aims to reinstate provisions for voter registration at public high schools in Wisconsin, which were previously mandated before the 2011 Wisconsin Act 240. The bill requires municipal clerks to notify school boards that high schools will be used for voter registration, and it mandates the appointment of at least one qualified voter as a special school registration deputy at each high school. Students and staff will be able to register on any day classes are held, and the registration forms must be promptly forwarded to the municipal clerk, who will add qualified voters to the registration list. The bill also ensures that individuals who will turn 18 before the next election are automatically registered to vote.

Additionally, the bill allows principals of private high schools or tribal schools with a significant number of students residing in the municipality to request the appointment of a special school registration deputy. The municipal clerk is required to appoint such a deputy if the school meets the criteria. The bill includes amendments to existing statutes, specifically adding provisions for voter registration at high schools and clarifying the responsibilities of school registration deputies and municipal clerks in the registration process.
