Vote by mail

If you'd rather skip the polls and vote by mail, you can request an absentee ballot.

If you have an absentee ballot, follow the instructions provided to fill it out properly. Remember that you need a witness! The witness must watch you complete the ballot, you and your witness must sign the envelope, and your witness must write their FULL address on it. Once you've completed your ballot, you can send it back in the mail.

Voters with disabilities can have someone help them return their ballot. Find more information on absentee ballot return assistance from Disability Rights Wisconsin.

You don't have to wait for Election Day to vote at the polls. Early voting is available in many locations across Wisconsin from March 21 - April 1.

Voting after a criminal conviction

Most people in Wisconsin jails are eligible to vote, including those awaiting trial who have not yet been convicted, and those with a misdemeanor as their most serious conviction. People convicted with a felony have the right to vote in Wisconsin once they are off paper.
