days before the election. The elector
must also be registered in order to receive an absentee ballot. Proof
of identification must be provided before an absentee ballot may be issued.
You must make a request for an absentee ballot
in writing or online at MyVote.wi.gov.
Contact your municipal
clerk and request that an application for an absentee ballot be sent to you for
the primary or election or both. You may
also submit a written request in the form of a letter or you may
apply for an absentee ballot online at MyVote.wi.gov. Your written request must list your voting
address within the municipality where you wish to vote, the address where the
absentee ballot should be sent, if different, and your signature. You may make application to your municipal
clerk for an absentee ballot in person, by mail, by fax, by email or at
MyVote.wi.gov.
