Published on November 02, 2026

Polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Your polling location is determined by your residential address. To find your assigned polling place, visit https://myvote.wi.gov/en-us/Find-My-Polling-Place.  If you are in line by 8:00 p.m., you are entitled to vote.

BE PATIENT & KIND
Election Day can be busy, and wait times may vary. Your polling place will be staffed by your friends and neighbors who are serving as election workers. Many work long hours to help ensure every eligible voter has the opportunity to cast a ballot.
Please be patient, courteous, and respectful.

ARE YOU REGISTERED TO VOTE?
If you are a first-time voter or have recently moved to Wisconsin (28-day residency required), you will need to register. If you have moved or changed your name since you last voted, you will need to update your voter registration.  You must provide acceptable proof of residence showing your name and current address.
For registration information and a complete list of acceptable proof of residence documents, visit: https://elections.wi.gov/Register

DISTRICT 7 VOTERS – IMPORTANT POLLING PLACE CHANGE

The library will serve as the polling location for both District 6 and District 7. Please be sure to use the correct entrance:

  • District 6: Enter from 9th Street through the courtyard entrance.
  • District 7: Enter through the south entrance from the parking lot behind the building.

Signage will be posted to help direct voters to the appropriate polling location.

ABSENTEE BALLOTS – IMPORTANT REMINDERS
If you have already voted and returned your absentee ballot, you cannot change your mind and vote again at your polling place on Election Day.

To be counted, absentee ballots must be received by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day.
You may return your completed absentee ballot:

  • To the City Clerk's Office by 4:00 p.m. on Election Day.
  • Directly to your assigned polling place by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day.

ELECTION OBSERVERS
You may see election observers at your polling place. Observers are permitted to be present during polling hours to observe election activities in accordance with Wisconsin election laws and procedures.

Observers are not permitted to interact with voters, and voters should not engage with observers. If you have questions or concerns while voting, please speak with a chief election official or contact the City Clerk.

ELECTIONEERING PROHIBITED
Electioneering is prohibited inside a polling place or within 100 feet of any entrance.  To ensure compliance with election laws, please be respectful of this requirement. Political clothing and accessories are not permitted, including T-shirts, hats, buttons, or other items displaying political messages or candidate support.

Additionally, political discussions, campaigning, solicitation, and distribution of political materials are strictly prohibited in these areas.
