Voters who are unable to enter the polling place due to a disability may vote curbside.  Please call 920-324-2055 on Election Day to request curbside service.  Voters who are hospitalized or otherwise confined to home because of illness may have an agent request and deliver an absentee ballot to them.  Please contact the clerk at 920-324-2055 for more information regarding this process.

Voting Reminders:  Proof of Residence is required to register (one-time registration unless there has been a name change or address change) and Proof of ID is required to vote.

Proof of Residence
Proof of Identification

Option 2: Voting absentee ballot by mail

 Any qualified elector (U.S. citizen, 18 years of age, who has resided in the district in which he or she intends to vote for at least 28 days) who registers to vote is eligible to request an absentee ballot. If you are not already registered, you will need to register to vote before an absentee ballot can be sent to you. (see Voter Registration section).

Request By Mail

If you are a registered Wisconsin voter, you can print the Application For Absentee Ballot (EL-121). Mail to: Town of Trenton Deputy Clerk, N10584 Jersey Road, Fox Lake, WI 53933.

Your application must be received by the clerk no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Thursday before the election in order for an absentee ballot to be SENT to you. You will also need to provide a copy of your acceptable photo ID with your request. If you have not previously provided a copy of photo ID, a copy of your photo ID must accompany your first application by mail. More information about photo ID can be found here.

 Note:  Often various groups send voters postcards to request an absentee ballot.  Be sure to include photo ID if needed with these requests. 

Voters who are indefinitely confined due to age, illness, infirmity, or disability may request that a ballot be automatically sent to them for each election. Wisconsin law exempts indefinitely confined voters from the requirement to provide photo ID when requesting an absentee ballot by mail. Military and permanently overseas voters have other delivery options available to them. See Military and Overseas

Request Online

Registered voters may use MyVote to request their absentee ballot by clicking "Vote Absentee." This request must be made no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Thursday before the election in order for an absentee ballot to be SENT to you. If you have not previously provided a copy of photo ID, photo ID must accompany your application. 

Witness Requirements: Each absentee ballot is required to have the voter signature, witness signature and witness address on the return envelope in order to be counted. State law requires that the voter must show their unmarked ballot to their witness prior to marking their ballot in their presence (Wis. Stat. §6.87(2)). The witness then signs the certification indicating the proper voting procedure has been followed. If a ballot has not been voted in the presence of the witness, a witness cannot certify that the unmarked ballot was shown to them. The voter should request a replacement ballot from their municipal clerk in these situations. 

Return Absentee Delivery Methods
  • USPS mail: postage is attached to return envelope. Mail at least one week before the Election.
  • Call 920-324-2055 for an appointment within 2 weeks of the election to hand deliver your absentee ballot to the clerk.
