Get a Ballot Sent to Your Home
The City of Platteville is encouraging voters to request an absentee ballot to be sent to their home to minimize the gathering of people on Election Day.

Are you ill, at high risk, or just want to be cautious during COVID-19? Do you hate standing in lines? Your request for an absentee ballot can be made through the website myvote.wi.gov, email, mail, or placed in the drop-box outside of City Hall. Once our office receives your request, your ballot will be mailed to the address of your choice within one business day. Please be sure to include a copy of your Photo ID with your request. Remember, voted ballots must be returned no later than Election Day (Tuesday, April 6) in order to be counted!

We anticipate ballots to be available for mailing by Tuesday, March 16, 2021. The deadline to request a ballot by mail for the General Election is Thursday, April 1, 2021, but don’t wait, request yours today!
