Assembly Bill 945 proposes to amend various sections of Wisconsin's election laws to reduce the residency requirement for voters from 28 days to 10 days prior to an election. This change applies to all eligible voters, allowing them to register and vote in their municipality and ward if they have resided there for at least 10 consecutive days before the election. The bill also includes provisions for voters who move within the state, allowing them to vote in their new ward if they meet the 10-day residency requirement.

In addition to the primary amendment regarding residency, the bill makes several related adjustments throughout the statutes, including changes to the application process for absentee ballots and the qualifications for military electors. The amendments aim to streamline the voting process and make it more accessible for individuals who may have recently moved or are in transitional living situations. Overall, the bill seeks to facilitate voter participation by reducing the residency requirement and updating related voting procedures.
