Wisconsin’s next partisan primary election will be Aug. 11, and voters can start to cast absentee ballots at the end of July.
Voters must be registered to vote to request an absentee ballot. Proof of identification must be provided before an absentee ballot may be issued.
Voters can apply with their municipal clerk for an absentee ballot in person, by mail, by fax, by email or at MyVote.wi.gov.
A written request must list your voting address within the municipality where you intend to vote, the address where the absentee ballot should be sent, if different, and your signature.
The deadline to apply for an absentee ballot is 5 p.m. Aug. 6 or Aug. 7, depending on your voter status. Contact the municipal clerk for details.
You may also request and vote an absentee ballot in the clerk’s office or other specified location during the days and hours specified for casting an absentee ballot in person. The first day to vote by absentee ballot in the municipal clerk’s office is July 28.
No in-person absentee voting may occur on the day before the election.
On the ballot will be candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer, U.S. Congress, Wisconsin Assembly, sheriff (Shawano and Oconto counties), coroner (Shawano County) and clerk of court.
The Aug. 11 election is a partisan primary. You may vote in only one party’s primary.
If you choose a party, votes cast in that party will be counted. Votes cast in any other party will not be counted.
If you do not choose a party, and you vote in more than one party, no votes will be counted.
You must vote for individual candidates.
