VOTE TUESDAY, AUGUST 16th!
FAQ about voting on August 16th
1) Do I need a photo ID?
NO. A poll worker may ask you to present one (as a test run) when you vote. However, if you don’t have one, you will not be turned away. Instead, you’ll be allowed to vote, and you’ll get a reminder that an ID will be required at the next election.
2) Can I vote before August 16 (early voting)?
YES. Early voting is different from absentee voting. You may vote early anytime between August 1 and August 12 by visiting your town or city clerk’s office in person during the clerk’s regular business hours.
3) Can I vote absentee?
YES. You may request an absentee ballot from your town or city clerk anytime after August 1. When you receive the ballot, fill it out according to the instructions on the ballot envelope and return the envelope immediately so that the ballot is received before August 16. Special exceptions are made for military ballots.
4) I just moved to a new address. Do I need to register to vote?
NO. If you can register ahead of time, that is ideal. However, Wisconsin law does allow you to register and vote on the same day. However, you must be able to provide proof that you’ve lived at your current Wisconsin residence for at least 28 days before the August 16 election.
If you have any questions about the proof you’ll need to provide regarding your residency, or if you have any other questions about voting in the August 16 recall election please call 715-212-3373. We’ll be very glad to answer any questions you may have!
