To ensure your ballot is received by Election Day, the U.S. Postal Service recommends all absentee ballots are mailed by Monday, Oct. 26. If you mail in your absentee ballot after this day, it might not reach your election clerk in time.
In Wisconsin and Illinois, voters can request absentee ballots by mail until Thursday, Oct 29.
After Monday, Oct. 26, voters should drop off ballots at an approved site (rather than via mail) to ensure ballots are received on time.
See approved drop-off sites in Wisconsin by contacting your municipal clerk.
Non-partisan student ‘walking buddies’ available for early voting beginning Oct. 20
