Voting by Absentee Ballot 


Under Wisconsin law, voters do not need a reason or excuse to request an Absentee ballot. Any voter who prefers to vote by absentee ballot may request one for each election. 


To request an absentee ballot, you have to submit a request in writing to the clerk's office (see below on ways to do that).


If you are not already registered, you will need to register to vote before an absentee ballot can be sent to you. A new voter registration application is required any time you move (even minor changes such as apartment units), change your name, or if you have not voted in the past four years. Check the myvote.wi.gov website to see if you are already registered.


Photo ID is Typically Required to Apply for an Absentee Ballot


Unless you are a military voter, permanently overseas, or are indefinitely confined, you must provide the Election Commission with a copy of your photo ID with your written absentee ballot application. The address on the ID does not need to be current. 

Click here for a list of acceptable photo IDs.


What is the deadline to request an Absentee Ballot?


  • Applications for absentee ballots must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Thursday before the election.
  • The easiest way to request an absentee ballot is at myvote.wi.gov
  • Unless you are disabled and permanently confirmed to your home or a member of the military, you will need to provide a scan of your Photo ID to request an absentee ballot online.


What is the deadline to return my completed Absentee Ballot?


  • Your ballot must arrive by Election Day to be counted.
  • If you are within 10 days of election, or are worried your ballot won't get to us in time, you can drop off your ballot at an early voting site.

Si aún no está registrado, deberá registrarse para votar antes de que se le envíe una boleta de voto por correo. Se requiere una nueva solicitud de registro de votante cada vez que se mude (incluso cambios menores como un apartamento), cambie de nombre o si no ha votado en los últimos cuatro años. Consulte el sitio web myvote.wi.gov para verificar si ya está registrado.


Generalmente se requiere una identificación con foto para solicitar una boleta de voto por correo.


A menos que sea militar, resida permanentemente en el extranjero o esté confinado indefinidamente, debe proporcionar a la Comisión Electoral una copia de su identificación con foto junto con su solicitud de voto por correo. La dirección en la identificación no necesita estar actualizada.

UPDATE: The bill passed on 2/26/2026! Thanks to Pat, Jacob, and everyone else who worked to support this important legislation!

Unlikely allies call on lawmakers to pass postpartum care bill before time runs out.
Assembly Bill 97 would give eligible mothers a full year of Medicaid coverage after childbirth, and two unlikely allies are working together to lobby lawmakers to get the bill passed before the legislative session ends.

For the last two years, conservative Jacob VandenPlas and LWVMC Member progressive Pat McFarland, have been working side by side, pushing for lawmakers to get this bill across the finish line.   

Enjoy this informative Riverwest radio interview between host Karen Lemke and LWVMC member Mary Voelker, who discussed the launch of VOTE411.org and other LWVMC activities.

Repro Rights Committee Op-Ed in Sunday's MJS Newspaper

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published an opinion piece from the LWVMC Repro Rights Committee about an abortion bill in the state legislature. The op-ed appeared in the digital version as well as in the Sunday, Jan. 11, Ideas Lab editorial section.


Women are not vessels to be regulated by the government

Enshrine reproductive rights in the state constitution


Charlene Gaebler-Uhing and Gail Sklodowska

Guest Columnists


Basic liberty hinges on the right of individuals to control their reproductive lives. Decisions on whether or when to parent have profound impacts on all aspects of life: physical and mental health, family stability and well being, and economic and educational opportunity and destiny.
