Looking for a sample ballot? The offices and candidates on the ballot for your address will be listed at My Vote WI.

You will need to present ID to receive an absentee ballot. If you are not already registered to vote at your current address, you may register to vote, with proof of residence, at any absentee voting location through Friday, October 30.

For the November 3, 2020, Presidential Election, we will offer In-Person Absentee Voting October 20 - November 1 (no voter registration on October 31 or November 1, though, per state law).

In June, we looked at the data from April and conducted a Pandemic Voting Access Equity Analysis. In-person absentee voting sites were established based on that analysis.

On the advice of Public Health, our in-person absentee voting sites will primarily be drive-up or outdoors. We need to make sure the ballots do not get wet. On days we have inclement weather, please check this website or call the Clerk's Office at 608-266-4601 before heading out to vote.

Drive-Up/Walk-Up In-Person Absentee Procedure

If you have your own ballpoint pen to use, please wave it at the absentee clerk as they approach you at a drive-up/walk-up absentee voting site. The absentee clerk will be wearing a reflective vest and a face mask. The absentee clerk will give you an absentee envelope to fill out on a clipboard that is disinfected after each use. The absentee clerk will need to check your voter ID. You may hold your ID up to your window for the absentee clerk to see. Once you mark your ballot, you will seal it in the absentee envelope. You will sign your envelope in the presence of the absentee clerk. The absentee clerk will sign as your witness. At the end of the drive-up/walk-up voting shift for the day, your absentee will be brought to the Clerk's Office in a courier bag with a tamper-evident seal. The unique serial number on the tamper-evident seal is documented on a chain-of-custody form, as is the number of absentee envelopes sealed in the courier bag. The Clerk's Office will verify the serial number on the tamper-evident seal, and the number of absentee envelopes sealed inside the courier bag. Your absentee will remain sealed in its envelope and secure in the Clerk's Office until it is delivered to your polling place to be processed on Election Day. On Election Day, the poll workers at your polling place will check your envelope into the poll book, and will feed your ballot into the tabulator to be counted.
