Shorewood Residents Running Into Ballot Question

SHOREWOOD,WI—Some voters who requested and have been issued an absentee ballot have been coming to the in-person absentee polling location at Village Center to vote, according to the village.

For these voters, election workers will ask if they brought the ballot with them. If they did, they are asked if they want to vote with that ballot. If they do want to vote with that ballot, they proceed to the poll booth.

If they did not bring the ballot, they can go home and bring it back or the Village can issue a new ballot.

Issuing a new ballot takes a few minutes longer to cancel the original ballot and re-issue a new one.

Voters are asked, if they can, to return their un-voted ballot into the white drop box at the Village Hall parking lot to be properly disposed or properly dispose on their own so a live ballot is not unaccounted for.

Voters are encouraged, if they received a mailed ballot and want to vote in-person on November 3, to contact the Municipal Clerk’s Office ahead of time to cancel the original mailed ballot before Election Day. Voters can still vote, but it will just take a little longer to verify that the mailed ballot has not been returned.

All votes will be tabulated on Election Day and results are not final until the absentees are fully processed.

If voters have any questions, they should contact the Municipal Clerk’s Office and Customer Service at 414-847-2700.
