How City of Marshfield Residents Can Vote
VOTING BY ABSENTEE BALLOT
Any qualified elector who is unable or unwilling to appear at the polling place on Election Day may submit a request to vote an absentee ballot to their municipal clerk. A qualified elector is any U.S. citizen who:
- Will be 18 years of age or older on Election Day.
- Has resided in the ward or municipality where they wish to vote for at least 28 consecutive days before the election.
The elector must also be registered to vote to receive an absentee ballot. Proof of identification must be provided before an absentee ballot may be issued.*
Making an Application to Receive an Absentee Ballot by Mail
Contact your municipal clerk and request that an application for an absentee ballot be sent to you for the primary, election, or both. You may make a written application to your municipal clerk by mail, fax, email, or at MyVote.wi.gov. Alternatively, you may apply in person at the clerk’s office during the in-person absentee voting period listed below.
Your written request must include:
- Your voting address within the municipality where you wish to vote.
- The address where the absentee ballot should be sent (if different from the above).
- Your signature.
- A copy of your photo identification.*
The deadline for making an application to receive an absentee ballot by mail is 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 31, 2024.**
*Voters who are indefinitely confined due to age, illness, infirmity, or disability may not be required to provide photo ID. If this applies to you, contact the municipal clerk regarding deadlines for requesting and submitting an absentee ballot.
Special absentee voting provisions apply to electors who are indefinitely confined, in the military, hospitalized, or serving as a sequestered juror. Contact the municipal clerk for more details.
