VOTING BY ABSENTEE BALLOT

PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY and SPRING ELECTION

Any qualified elector who is unable or unwilling to appear at the polling place on Election Day may request to vote an absentee ballot.  A qualified elector is any U.S. citizen, who will be 18 years of age or older on Election Day, who has resided in the ward or municipality where he or she wishes to vote for at least 10 consecutive 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.

TO OBTAIN AN ABSENTEE YOU MUST MAKE A REQUEST IN WRITING

Contact your municipal clerk and request that an application for 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 must include a copy of an acceptable form of Photo ID.  You may make application for an absentee ballot by mail, email or in person.

THE DEADLINE FOR MAKING APPLICATION TO RECEIVE AN ABSENTEE BALLOT BY MAIL IS 5:00 P.M. ON THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 2020.

Note: Special absentee voting application provisions apply to electors who are indefinitely confined to home or a care facility, in the military, hospitalized, or serving as a sequestered juror. If this applies to you, contact the municipal clerk regarding deadlines for requesting and submitting an absentee ballot.

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 tear off was completed by Craig Matthys, Tom Johnson and myself (Dan Scheeringa). 

Star Prairie Fish and Game members completed the installation.

SPF&G members involved were: Erv Ericksen, Diz Madsen, John Peterson, Chuck Magoon, Bill Jasperson, Chuck Frawley

In the group photos, the SPF&G members are (l to r) Diz Madsen, Chuck Magoon, John Peterson and Erv Ericksen. 

The project was completed using a grant from Star Prairie Fish and Game to purchase materials. The village was able to procure materials for $200 less than the maximum of the $1835 grant request, and have enough left over lumber to replace decking on a couple of the fishing docks along the Apple River in the park next spring. 

Village employees Amanda Engesether, Nathan Licht and Martin Schwan were instrumental in the logistics helping get this project moving

Big thanks to all volunteers!
