Requests for Absentee Ballots
Before an absentee ballot can be issued there needs to be a written request for the ballot and a photo ID submitted. The written request for the ballot should include your town address and the address you would like your ballot mailed to. Requests for absentee ballots can be submitted to: Town Clerk, Susan Freiermuth, N7998 State Hwy. 65, River Falls, WI 54022 or e-mail: [email protected] The last day that absentee ballots can be mailed out to the elector is the Thursday preceding the Tuesday election date. Ballots can usually be mailed out starting a month prior to the election upon receipt of the written request and photo ID. Please request absentee ballots as soon as possible.
In-person absentee ballot hours have been established as Monday- Friday two weeks prior to the election date from 8:00 A.M. – 7:00 P.M. In person absentee balloting is only available by appointment with the Town Clerk at 715-425-1117. No in-person absentee ballots can be cast on the Monday right before the election day.
Voter Registration
To vote in Wisconsin you must first register to vote. You can obtain the voter registration form online by going to http://gab.wi.gov. Click on “forms” and then EL-131, Voter Registration Form.

Photo ID Requirements
Wisconsin’s photo ID law is in effect. For most people this will mean having your driver’s license with you when you come to vote.
