Early voting in Wisconsin: How to find dates, locations and hours in your community

In-person absentee voting, also known as early voting, will start in Wisconsin in about two weeks.

Under state law, communities can hold early voting between Oct. 22 and Nov. 3, but it's up to each local government to set dates, times and locations.

Early voting involves going to a designated location, such as a library or municipal building, to cast an absentee ballot in-person. It's a different process than mail-in absentee voting, where a voter requests and receives an absentee ballot in the mail.

You might hear both referred to as early voting, because it takes place before Election Day. If you received an absentee ballot in the mail, one of your options for returning it is bringing your ballot to an early voting site.

Voters in Wisconsin can still register to vote and cast ballots at the polls from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Nov. 5. But some voters may prefer to use early voting sites, especially if they will be busy or out of town on Election Day.
