Hi John,
What’s your plan to vote? The spring election is coming up on April 5 and it’s important to make a plan for voting well ahead of Election Day.
Our Wisconsin Native Vote team recently spoke to Chairman Christopher D. Boyd of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa about the importance of voting and he said, “The importance of ensuring your future generations is by casting your vote.” So go vote, whether you vote absentee, vote early in-person, or vote in-person on Election Day. |
Make sure you have the voting information you need: -
First, check to see if you’re registered to vote here. If you’re not registered, you can register online until March 16 or in-person when you vote. Just make sure you have a proof of residence document for your registration and a valid photo ID to vote.
-
Know what’s on your ballot. You can find a sample ballot on MyVote here.
-
If you plan to vote absentee, know that the rules changed for the April 5 election. To return your absentee ballot, you can return it from your own mailbox, drop it off in a U.S. Post Office collection box, or at your clerk's office. Be sure that you are returning your own ballot and not returning one for a friend or family member. Return your absentee ballots as soon as possible to allow plenty of time for mail delays. Contact your clerk for more information.
-
You can also vote early as soon as March 22 (also called in person absentee voting). The early voting hours and dates vary by municipality. To find your early voting location, visit this link or call your municipal clerk.
-
You can also vote in person on Election Day on Tuesday, April 5. Make sure you bring a valid photo ID and know where your polling place is (your polling location may have changed this year). All polling locations are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
