wi.gov and .gov Email Domains

Wisconsin governmental jurisdictions may use either a wi.gov or .gov email address. The .gov domain is administered at the federal level, while the wi.gov domain is administered at the state level. In both cases, the actual email accounts are managed by private email providers for a fee.

These two different levels of administration each require different sign-up processes, but both provide the trusted .gov domain. Directions for obtaining the wi.gov and .gov domain are in the Election Security .gov Domain Process document linked below. Additional information about common email providers are also linked below.
