With the impending elections, Wisconsin voters who won't be able to hit the polls on the big day have alternatives at their fingertips. The City of South Milwaukee reminds residents that they can cast absentee ballots if they're skipping town or otherwise engaged on Election Day. All it requires is a bit of forward-thinking – and a photo ID, according to the city's official website.
To those eyeing the absentee route, you need to get your photo ID to the appropriate clerks before they can dispatch a ballot to your mailbox. It's a safeguard, one to ensure the person voting is in fact the person they claim to be. As per the City of South Milwaukee's official guidelines, such requests must be penned and submitted no later than the Thursday preceding the election. For those who wait until the last minute or have busy schedules, now is the time to take care of it.
The process isn't just confined to the postal service; voters have the option to venture into the clerk’s office for an in-person absentee voting affair. This early voting period lasts two weeks before the election, giving voters another way to cast their ballots.
