Obligatory-

If you are a legal resident of Wisconsin, and are not currently serving time or on paper, you can register to vote entirely online if you want, and you can request absentee ballots for all elections for the entire year (no reason needed, but necessary annual renewal, it’s my New Year’s resolution every year because it’s so easy to accomplish. entirely free of charge ofc.).

Just go to www.myvote.wi.gov to register, request absentee ballots, check your registration, or find your polling place. If you have any difficulty with your registration, you can find your local rep and contact them directly.

Please vote. Please vote for your own wellbeing. Please.

    Hi, your link (the actual link, not the link text) is to https://www.reddit.comwww.myvote.wi.gov .

    So you went somewhere different than I did… weird..

    For me it comes up https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/www.myvote.wi.gov

    I typed it in though.. the link and link text are the same, so that shouldn’t happen.

    i see what happened.

    you typed [www.myvote.wi.gov](www.myvote.wi.gov) in your comment's source. for it to register as a URL you have to put https before the link inside the parentheses: [www.myvote.wi.gov](https://www.myvote.wi.gov).

    for me it goes to https://pawb.social/post/www.myvote.wi.gov (my instance, error: couldnt_find_post)

    in your comment's source it is written [www.myvote.wi.gov](www.myvote.wi.gov), which shouldn't behave like this. looks like a lemmy bug maybe?

    i have two theories:

    1. the bug is related to typing a link directly, as in pasting a link in the comment, like example.com (i typed it without brackets for a name or parentheses for a URL)

    or

    2. it's related to links explicitly starting with www, such as what you linked.

    for testing purposes:

    www.myvote.wi.gov

    www.myvote.wi.gov

    you can report lemmy issues at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues. i searched on there to see if it was already reported but couldn't find anything, though if you want to i'd recommend searching.
