Wisconsin law requires that an absentee ballot be mailed by the voter, or delivered in person by the voter, to the City Clerk.

(Wis. Stat. § 6.87(4)(b)1)

 

A circuit court has interpreted this law to mean that the use of drop boxes located outside of a municipal building is restricted. Therefore the City of Kenosha has removed all ballot drop boxes.

 

Ballots must be returned by 8:00 pm on election day to be counted. Voters may drop their absentee ballot off in Room 104  of the Kenosha Municipal Building, 625 52nd Street. Or, they may mail their absentee ballot back to the City Clerk’s office. Voters choosing to mail their absentee ballot back should allow enough time for it to be received in the City Clerk’s office by 8:00 pm on Election Day. The post office recommends mailing it seven days in advance.

In Wisconsin you must show a Photo ID in order to receive a ballot. 

Examples of acceptable forms of ID:

  • A Wisconsin DOT-issued license, even if driving privleges are revoked/suspended
  • A Wisconsin DOT-issed ID card
  • Military ID card
  • US Passport book or card
  • Certificate of Naturalization
  • ID issued by a federally recognized Indian Tribe in Wisconsin
  • ID card receipt issued by WIS-DOT (not expired)
  • Veteran Affairs ID card (not expired)

DISABILITY ACCESS:
Our polling places have been audited for accessibility.  Nonetheless, voters with health issues, mobility issues, a disability, or difficulty waiting in line may vote from the curb of their polling place. Send someone in to the polling place to notify the poll workers that you are a curbside voter. If you do not have someone to send in to the polling place, contact the Clerk’s Office at  or 262-653-4020 to make arrangements to vote curbside

For federal elections, absentee ballots will be in the mail beginning 47 days before the election. For elections that do not include federal offices, absentee ballots will be in the mail beginning three weeks before Election Day.

Voters may verify their registration, polling place, sample ballot, and absentee ballot status at myvote.wi.gov

The deadline to request an absentee ballot is 5:00 pm the Thursday before the election, but we recommend making your request as early as possible so there is adequate time to mail the ballot back to the Clerk's Office.
