When will mail in ballots be sent out in wisconsin

In Wisconsin, mail-in ballots, also known as absentee ballots, are typically sent out to eligible voters several weeks before an election. The exact timing may vary depending on the election and the voter's registration status.

For the 2022 Wisconsin Spring Election and Presidential Preference Vote, which is scheduled to take place on April 5, 2022, the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) has announced the following timeline for mail-in ballot distribution:

• March 15, 2022: Absentee voting begins, and eligible voters can request an absentee ballot by mail or online.
• March 16-25, 2022: Absentee ballots will be mailed to voters who have requested them.
• April 4, 2022: The deadline to request an absentee ballot by mail or online is 5:00 p.m. Central Time.
• April 5, 2022: The Spring Election and Presidential Preference Vote takes place.

To request an absentee ballot, eligible voters can:

1. Go online to the Wisconsin My Vote website and fill out the absentee ballot request form.
2. Contact their municipal clerk's office to request an absentee ballot by phone or in person.
3. Fill out the absentee ballot request form and mail it to their municipal clerk's office.

It's important to note that voters must request an absentee ballot by the deadline to ensure that it is mailed to them in time to vote. If a voter requests an absentee ballot after the deadline, they will need to vote in person on Election Day.
