Absentee Ballot Request

This week the Wisconsin Election Commission is mailing out approximately 2.6 million mailings to Wisconsin voters with information regarding registering to vote and obtaining an absentee ballot for the November General Election. This mailing is being sent to registered voters who, as of the end of June, did not have an absentee ballot request on file for the November election. If you receive this mailing and have recently (after June 30, 2020) completed a request for an absentee ballot, no further action is required from you to receive an absentee ballot. The deadline for the Village of Waunakee to receive ballots from the Dane County for the November election is during the week of September 14, 2020. After this week, we will be mailing absentee ballots to all who have an active request on file.
