Absentee Voting

Did you know that absentee voting is available to all registered voters? 
  • 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 is registered 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. You can request an absentee ballot by mail, email, online or fax.
  • Voters who are indefinitely confined, meaning they have a difficult time getting to the polls due to age, illness, infirmity, or disability, may request that a ballot be automatically sent to them for each election.
  • Indefinitely confined voters do not need to provide a photo ID with their absentee ballot request.
  • If you or someone you know are indefinitely confined you will make this designation in box 6 of the application.
  • The last day to request and absentee ballot by mail is the 5th day before the election.  
  • To apply to receive an absentee ballot please fill out the Absentee Ballot Application online and mail it along with copy of photo ID, if applicable to Village Hall.
