How do I request an Absentee Ballot?

Residents can request an absentee ballot once they’re registered to vote. Visit MyVote Wisconsin to register to vote, update your voter information, request an absentee ballot or get more information about upcoming elections.

 

How to Register

Registration is open until 5:00 pm 20 days before an election. Wisconsin requires 28 days to establish residency at a new address. Temporary absence does not affect residency. Time spent away from your residence still counts toward the 28 day residency requirement as long as you intend to return. When registering, you must present Proof of Residence, a document showing your current name at your current address. You cannot register to vote at a post office box. View acceptable forms of Proof of Residence.

Online

You may register to vote at MyVote Wisconsin  if you have a valid, unexpired Wisconsin driver license or Wisconsin ID, and your address on file with the DMV matches the address at which you are registering to vote. If the DMV does not have your current address on file, update your address on the DMV website  before updating your voter registration at MyVote Wisconsin .

In person

During open registration, Town of Star Prairie residents may register to vote at the Town Hall during normal business hours.

Mail (only allowable up to 20 days before an election)

Registration forms are available on the Wisconsin Elections Commission website. To register to vote by mail, download and print the application above and mail the form to the Town Clerk. The registration form must be postmarked at least 20 days before the election. You will need to include Proof of Residence with the form.

Mail application to:
Town Clerk
2118 Cook Drive
Somerset, WI 54025

Register during Closed Registration

Once registration closes at 5:00 pm 20 days before an election, you may only register to vote at the Town Hall (during absentee voting hours) with proof of address, until the close of absentee voting at that site the Friday before the election.

Registering early will save you time on Election Day. However, it is possible to register at the polls on Election Day.
