REQUEST AN ABSENTEE BALLOT
Deadline to request a ballot be mailed (5th Day prior to Election)
There are several ways registered voters can request absentee ballots.
1) ON-LINE: If you have internet access, the easiest way is to sign up is MyVote Wisconsin: https://myvote.wi.gov.
Just look for the “Vote Absentee” button near the top of the page. 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 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.
2) BY MAIL: Voters can also request absentee ballots by mail (Military and Permanent Overseas may request by Email or fax) from their municipal clerk’s office. You can find your clerk’s contact information on MyVote Wisconsin. These 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 will 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 can be found at bringit.wi.gov.
The deadline for registered voters to request an absentee ballot be mailed to you is the Thursday before the election.
Your absentee ballot must be received in your clerk’s office or at your polling place by 8 p.m. on Election Day.
