   If necessary, there will be a primary election on February 20, 2024.

How do I vote?
   You have three options to cast a ballot:

  • Vote absentee by mail. Your clerk will mail you a ballot a few weeks before an election, along with a return envelope. When you receive your ballot, follow the directions carefully, and mail it back quickly. Your ballot must be witnessed, and your witness must put their signature and full address on the outside of your ballot. Ballots must arrive back at your clerk's office by Election Day. If time is a problem, return the ballot to your clerk's office during weekday hours. Ballots must be mailed or returned by each individual voter, but Federal laws protect the rights of disabled voters, who may receive assistance in returning their ballot.
     
  • Vote absentee in person during office hours at  your clerk's office beginning the Tuesday two weeks before an election. The last day to vote early in person is the Friday before Election Day.   
    • You may register to vote (or re-register due to a new address or new name) at your clerk's office.
    • You will need your photo ID.
      ​
  • Vote at your polling place on Election Day. Polls are open from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm on Election Day. 
    • You may register to vote (or re-register due to a new address or new name) at your polling place on Election Day.
    • State your name and address to the pollworker, present a photo ID.
    • You may ask to see a list of registered write-in candidates.
    • When you receive a ballot, proceed to a voting booth to mark your ballot.
    • It's OK to ask someone to help you read your ballot if you are visually impaired. There may also be a special device available to help you complete your ballot with auditory directions.
    • Insert your ballot into the tabulation machine.​​
    • While at your polling place, you may use a cellphone to present proof of address, photo ID, look up candidates while you vote, and take photos -- but it is illegal to photograph other voters or a completed ballot, even your own completed ballot.​

Do I need a Voter ID?
      Yes. Voters in Wisconsin must present a photo ID whenever they vote in person.
      If your driver license or state ID is unexpired, that is all you need.  (If you are a registered voter, the address is not required to be correct.)
      You must have a photo ID on file to request a mailed ballot. Upload a photo of your ID online when you request a mailed ballot.
      VoteRiders will help voters get a Voter ID.
