Some voters do not need to include a copy of their Photo ID with a request to send a ballot. For residents who have voted by absentee ballot previously, the City Clerk’s office may have the resident’s photo ID on file. Residents who have difficulty traveling to the polling place due to age, physical illness, infirmity or disability or live in a nursing home or care facility, do not need to provide a copy of their photo ID to receive an absentee ballot. Members of the military or others who live permanently overseas, do not need to provide a copy of their photo ID to receive an absentee ballot.
Voters should not drop off their ballots at a polling place on Election Day. All voted ballots must be in the City Clerk’s office by 8 pm on August 9, 2022. Allow enough time for delivery so that the ballot is counted.
Wisconsin law requires that voted ballots be returned by the voter. Voters who choose to return their ballots in person should bring it inside the Kenosha Municipal Building, to Room 104. Ballots may be returned in person Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4:30 pm or mail it and allow enough time for it to be received in the City Clerk’s office by 8 pm on August 9, 2022. The post office recommends mailing it seven days in advance. Ballots may also be shipped via other delivery methods (FedEx, etc).
Drop boxes are NOT available
Due to a recent court ruling, drop boxes will NOT be used for this election. Do not drop your ballot in a drop box. Ballots may only be delivered in person or via mail.
If you are in the hospital within seven days before the election, you can designate someone as your agent to bring the ballot to you. The agent then needs to bring the voted ballot back to the City Clerk’s office by 8 pm on election day. The deadline to request this is by 5 pm on Election Day.
