April 7 Primary - You can Vote At Home!! [View all]

You can vote at home, and avoid election day crowds.
Why this is not being promoted during a pandemic is anyone's guess.
Wisconsin voters can easily get more information, find their registration status, voting locations and request an absentee ballot at the official Wisconsin Elections website:
https://myvote.wi.gov/en-us/

I want to promote absentee voting. Voting at Home is smart, safe and a logical choice, not only during a pandemic, but for every election when Tuesdays are normally a busy day for people who may only have a couple of hours to vote.

Please consider making sure you can vote by voting at home.
NOW IS THE TIME TO GET THINGS GOING....
