Voters who are indefinitely confined, meaning they have a difficult time getting to the polls due to age, illness, infirmity, or disability, may request that a ballot be automatically sent to them for each election. Indefinitely confined voters do not need to provide a photo ID with their absentee ballot request. If you or someone you know is indefinitely confined you will make this designation in box 6 of the Application for Absentee Ballot (PDF).

Email or Fax 

Regular Wisconsin voters may also request that ballot be sent to them by sending an email or fax to their clerk. Your request must also include a copy of your photo ID, if not previously provided.

Remember, you can only vote once!

Please note: In 2011 the Legislature passed Act 227, which prohibits a voter who has returned a completed absentee ballot from voting at the polling place on Election Day. Previously, voters who cast an absentee ballot and changed their minds could go to the polling place and vote on Election Day, and their absentee ballot would not be counted. This is no longer an option.
