Election Information

GENERAL REMINDERS:

NOT SURE HOW TO REQUEST A BALLOT THROUGH THE WISVOTE WEBSITE? PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO FOR INSTRUCTIONS HERE.

Whether voting absentee or on election day, you will need to provide a photo ID

Requesting to vote absentee in any election can be done through the myvotewi.gov website. Please remember to complete all necessary information and upload a copy of your photo ID (NOT A SELFIE! EASIEST EXAMPLE IS TO USE YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE). Registered voters may also send an email to townsecretary@townofthreelakes.com to request a ballot. In your email you MUST STATE: your name(s); your Three Lakes address; the date(s) you want to vote absentee; the address you want your ballot(s) mailed to; and you must include a copy of your photo ID.

Appointments will be scheduled for voting Absentee-In Office two weeks prior to elections. You must call the Clerk's Office to schedule an appointment.

When returning your absentee ballots, ALL highlighted areas must be completed on the envelope or your ballot won't count. This includes your witness' address, even if your witness is your spouse. Absentee ballots must be returned to the Clerk's office no later than 8:00 p.m. on election day to be counted. If you prefer to not send your ballot back through the mail in the postage-paid envelope, you may drop it off in the ballot drop box located inside the Clerk's Office during regular business hours prior to Election Day.
