1. Vote Absentee by Mail

You must be registered to vote to request an absentee mail ballot. To vote absentee by mail in the Wisconsin August primary, you have until Thursday, August 4th at 5pm to request an absentee ballot. If you need to vote absentee by mail, we recommend requesting an absentee ballot TODAY. It takes time for election officials to process your request and mail you your ballot.

2. Vote Early In-Person from Tuesday, July 26 – Sunday, August 7*

*Note: Early Voting dates differ based on city. See below for Milwaukee, Green Bay, and Kenosha's early vote schedule.

If you live outside of these cities, you can search for your absentee in-person (aka, early voting) options here.

How can you return your absentee ballot?

1. By mail ASAP. Since there will no longer be ballot drop boxes available, make sure you fill out your mail ballot and get it in the mail as soon as you can! All absentee ballots must be received by 8pm on Election Day, Tuesday, August 9th.
2. Bring your ballot to your clerk. We recommend doing this if there is not enough time to mail your ballot back through the USPS. Please note: all ballots must be received by 8pm on Election Day, Tuesday, August 9th. All ballots must be delivered to the clerk by the person whose name is on the ballot. Find your clerk's office address here. 

3. Vote in person on Election Day, Tuesday, August 9th.

Polls are open from 7am – 8pm.

If you are in line at 8pm, stay in line! You are still able to vote.
