Absentee Voting

Absentee Ballots

If you are unable to get to the polls on election day, you can request an absentee ballot or stop at Village Hall prior to the election to vote absentee. The last day to vote absentee in person is the Friday prior to the election. The ballots are generally at Village Hall a couple weeks prior to the election.

If you are not already registered, you will need to register to vote before an absentee ballot can be sent to you.

An absentee elector is any otherwise qualified elector who, for any reason, is unable or unwilling to appear at the polling place in his or her ward. And otherwise qualified elector who changes residence with this state by moving to a different ward or municipality later than 28 days to an election may vote an absentee ballot in the ward or municipality where he or she was qualified to vote before moving.
