 How do I register to vote?

Wisconsin requires voter registration prior to a person being allowed to vote.

You have several options to register (all options require a proof of residence document):

1.  By Mail  Voter Registration Application 

2.  In Person  Voter Registration Application

3.  Online at myvote.wi.gov 

4.  At the Polling Place on Election Day (AVOID ADDITIONAL TIME WAITING IN LINE on Election Day and REGISTER EARLY!)

 How do I vote absentee?

If you are not already registered, you will need to register to vote before an absentee ballot can be sent to you.

Online Request

Go to myvote.wi.gov.  Click on the blue circle labeled "Vote Absentee".  You will be prompted to enter your first and last name and date of birth.  Then click on the green "Search" box.  If your registration is found, your name and address will show, and then you will click on the blue box labeled "Request Absentee Ballot". The website will easily guide you through to complete your request.

Request by Mail

Download the Application For Absentee Ballot. Complete the form and mail it to the Town Clerk.  Please include a copy of an acceptable form of photo ID unless you are an "indefinitely confined" voter due to age, illness, infirmity or disability.  Absentee applications must be received by 5:00 pm on Thursday before the election in order for an absentee ballot to be mailed to you. The completed ballot must be received in the clerk's office by 8:00 p.m. on election day in order to be counted. Please verify all information is completed correctly and all required signatures are included on the absentee ballot certification envelope prior to returning it to the Clerk's office.

In-Person

Contact the Town Clerk to make an appointment for in-person absentee voting. In-person absentee voting begins 14 days prior to each election. Ballots requested in-person may NOT be removed from the clerk's office by the voter.  

Please refer to the Wisconsin Elections Commission website for more information.

 What is Curbside Voting?

If a voter cannot enter the absentee voting location or polling place due to disability, Wis. Stat. § 6.82(1) requires that curbside voting must be available.  Two poll workers should bring a ballot to the individual needing assistance, and conduct voting at their vehicle, or at the polling place entrance.  These voters are not required to sign the poll list.  Instead, the poll workers should write “exempt by order of inspectors/curbside voter” in the signature space on the poll list.  The incident will also be recorded on the Inspector’s Statement (EL-104). If curbside voter(s) need to update their registration due to an address or name change or if they are not currently a registered voter, they may also register to vote curbside with a current and valid Proof of Residence. Curbside voting should also be available during the in-person absentee voting period. 

Persons who would like to vote curbside are encouraged to contact their municipal clerk beforehand at 608-742-8763 to discuss how to initiate the process upon arrival at the voting location.

To arrange Curbside Voting on Election Day, please call the phone number listed on the sign that is posted above the orange traffic cones in the handicap stall in front of the polling location.
