Key Absentee Voting Deadlines

Absentee voting for the November 5 General Election is coming to a close. Voters should be aware of some key deadlines:

• Friday, November 1, is the final day for late voter registration at in-person absentee voting sites. There is no voter registration the Saturday, Sunday, or Monday before Election Day. Voters may register at the polls on Tuesday.
• Sunday, November 3, is the final day of in-person absentee voting.
• Monday, November 4, is the final day to use one of the secure ballot drop boxes near Madison's fire stations. The drop boxes will be locked closed at 5 p.m. Monday.
• Absentee ballots need to be at the absentee voter’s polling location before the polls close at 8 p.m. on Tuesday. Postmarks do not count.

The City of Madison Clerk’s Office encourages voters to check their registration and track their absentee ballot at https://MyVote.wi.gov. 

The goal of the City Clerk’s Office is that each eligible voter will be able to cast a ballot and have that ballot counted.
