Vote

Do you want a say in how your local tax dollars are used in Milwaukee?  Are you worried about issues such as transportation, parks, schools, housing and more? 

Decisions around these issues and many more are made by local elected officials.  As a resident of Milwaukee, you can have a say in what decisions are made – by voting. Unfortunately, many people think their vote doesn’t count.  Your vote matters even more in local elections – turnout for the primary election for the Milwaukee mayor’s race was about 22%.

Use these 5 tips to make sure YOUR vote counts!

1. Check your voter registration at My Vote Wisconsin. Update your voter information and register or re-register if you’ve moved since the last election. Click here to learn more about voter registration.  

2. Find out what’s on your ballot.  Your ballot and local election information are based on where you live. Visit  What's On My Ballot to view a sample ballot for your area. 

3. Request an absentee ballot if you plan to vote by mail.  Don’t wait until the last minute!  Allow enough time for mailing and make sure your absentee ballot is returned to your clerk by Election Day. 

4. If you plan to vote early,  click here to find your options.  Early voting starts March 22, but the days and hours vary by location.  

5. Find your polling place, if you plan to vote in person at the polls on April 5th.  Locations may have changed since the last election. Polls are open from 7 am – 8 pm. 

Make sure your voice is one that helps decide who Milwaukee’s next mayor should be and make your plan now to vote!
