Absentee Ballot Information

Any qualified elector (U.S. citizen, 18 years of age, who has resided in the district in which he or she intends to vote for at least 28 days) who registers to vote is eligible to request an absentee ballot. Under Wisconsin law, voters do not need a reason or excuse, such as being out of town on Election Day, to vote absentee. Any voter who prefers to vote by absentee ballot may request one. You have several options for requesting an absentee ballot and casting your vote:

• Online
  • Click the link above. On a mobile phone, use the menu button in the upper right corner of the website. There is a three-step process that starts with putting in your name and date of birth, followed by requesting your ballot. If you don’t already have a photo ID on file with your clerk’s office, you can upload a copy. Mobile phone users can take a picture of their acceptable photo id and upload it to MyVote. Absentee ballot requests submitted this way go directly to your clerk’s office, and you can track your ballot by returning to the website.
• Mailing, emailing or faxing your municipal clerk’s office. The request must be submitted in writing. 

Requests must be accompanied by a copy of your photo ID. If you already have a photo ID on file from previous absentee requests under your current registration, you do not need to provide it again.

• Voters who are indefinitely confined, meaning they may have difficulty getting to the polls for reason of age, illness, infirmity, or disability are not required to provide a photo ID. Voters in care facilities can have a representative of the facility confirm the resident’s identity instead of providing a photo ID. More information on photo ID and exemptions

The deadline for registered voters to request an absentee ballot be mailed to you is the Thursday before the election. However, do not to wait due to possible delays in mail delivery. There is a dropbox available outside the village office to return your ballot as well.

Your absentee ballot must be received in your clerk’s office or at your polling place by 8 p.m. on Election Day. Voters are urged to request and return absentee ballots as soon as possible.

If you get an absentee ballot mailed to you, you can still decide to vote at the polls on Election Day if you haven’t returned it.
