Contact your municipal clerk and  request that an application for an absentee ballot be sent to you for the primary or election or both.  You may also submit a written request in the form of a letter or you may apply for an absentee ballot online at MyVote.wi.gov.

Your written request must list your voting address within the municipality where  you wish to vote, the address where  the absentee ballot should be sent, if different, and  your signature.  You may make  application to your municipal clerk for an absentee ballot in person, by mail, by fax, by email or at MyVote.wi.gov.
