Absentee Voting

Please note that Wisconsin law requires you to submit a copy of your photo ID to us before we can mail you an absentee ballot.

If you are a registered voter in the City of South Milwaukee you can cast an absentee ballot in the Clerk’s office, or request in writing that a ballot be mailed to you up until the Thursday before an election. Absentee voting will be conducted in the clerk’s office the two weeks prior to an election.

Requests for Absentee Ballots

 You may apply at MyVote Wisconsin.

A copy of your photo ID must accompany the request, if you have not previously provided a copy. Exemptions from the photo ID requirement:
