Have an Absentee Ballot?

- Make a plan to return your absentee ballot in the mail at least one week prior to August 13.
- Less than a week away from Election Day? It's too late to mail your ballot, but don't worry you have options! Return it to a drop box (check with your clerk if you don't know if your community is using drop boxes this fall), your clerk's office or clerk-designated return locations on Election Day (like your polling place or central count location for communities that use central count).
- Voters with a disability who need assistance may have someone return their absentee ballot other than their employer, agent of that employer, or officer or agent of their union. If you are told otherwise, please contact the Disability Rights WI Voter Hotline: 844-347-8683 / info [at] disabilityvote.org
