Absentee Voting (Early Voting)

  • In-Person Absentee Voting. You can vote early, in the Clerk/Treasurer' as allowed by state law. Bring a photo ID. When the sign is out, we are available for you to vote early, in-person. It is that easy. City of Waterloo residents can vote absentee at the City of Waterloo Municipal Office.  If you apply for an absentee ballot in your municipal clerk's office, you will vote your ballot immediately in the clerk's office, seal your ballot in the proper envelope, and return it to a member of the clerk's staff.  No ballots may be taken out of the clerk's office.

    When can I Vote an In-Person Absentee Ballot?  Each city, village and town in Wisconsin is responsible for setting the dates and hours of in-person absentee voting for their municipality.  In-person absentee voting cannot occur more than two weeks before an election.
     
    • City of Waterloo early voting hours, for the two week period before each election
      • Weekdays 8:00 am to 4:30 pm.
      • Early voting the Monday prior to Election Day is prohibited by state law.

        • Follow the prompts to fill out an absentee ballot request.
        • Additional proof of ID may be required. Follow the instructions on the website to properly provide additional proof of ID.
    • Alternatively, you may fill out an Absentee Ballot Application and mail, fax, email or deliver it to the City Clerk's Office.
      • Provide copy of your photo ID. It must accompany the application, if you have not done so with a prior by mail absentee ballot request. It may be submitted by mail, fax, email or in-person.
      • We must receive your absentee ballot request on or before the Thursday prior to Election Day at 5 pm. Your ballot will be mailed to you. We can only mail out ballots - picking-up a ballot is not permitted by state law. When returning your absentee ballot you may:
        • US Mail -- Return it via standard mail. Ballots must be received on or before November 8 no later than 8 pm.
  • It is important to have your return envelope completed (including the voter's signature and witness's signature & address). Ballots returned inside a partially filled out return envelope cannot be counted. The Clerk/Treasurer's office makes every effort to ensure ballots are properly cast. All voters must do their part in this process.
