In order to vote absentee, you must be a registered voter in the Village of Chenequa. If not registered, please print and complete the Voter Registration Application form from the W.E.C. website. You must also now provide a copy of your Voter ID with your absentee ballot application.  If you are registered, please print and complete the Application for Absentee Ballot form from the W.E.C. website and return it to the Village of Chenequa.

Please make a color copy or gray-scale copy of your Voter ID (WI Driver’s License) and include it with your application.

Once the application and Voter ID is received, a ballot will then be sent to you no sooner than the third Monday prior to the election.

Ballots must be returned to Village Hall by Election Day in order for the ballot to count. Ballots for all elections are available the third Monday prior to the election.  When you receive the ballot, please follow these instructions:

In the presence of someone authorized to administer oaths in Wisconsin (such as the Village Clerk or a Notary Public) or in the presence of one witness, the voter marks the ballot by connecting the arrows, using a black pen or #2 pencil. If you plan to vote for a write-in: Write the person’s name in the ‘write-in’ area, and connect the arrow.

• The folded ballot is placed in the affidavit envelope and sealed.
• The voter completes and signed the affidavit envelope.
• An individual authorized to administer oaths or one witness present, while the ballots were marked, completes the certificate printed on the affidavit envelope. (Witness need not be a resident of the municipality in which the voter claims residency.)
• The affidavit envelope is returned to the Village Clerk, by mail or in person, so that it arrives on or before Election Day (in time for the Clerk to have it delivered to the polling place by 8:00 PM).
