Voting in an August Partisan Primary - Make your vote count!

In a Partisan Primary Election, voters may vote for candidates of only one political party. Choose one party and vote only for candidates within that party's contests. You may also vote in any nonpartisan offices and referendum questions that appear on the ballot.

If you vote for candidates from more than one political party (commonly called a "crossover vote"), your votes for partisan offices may not be counted as intended under Wisconsin election law.

If you make a mistake on your ballot:

Wisconsin law allows a voter who accidentally spoils or erroneously prepares a ballot to receive a replacement ballot by returning the defective ballot to the municipal clerk or election inspector. The Clerk's Office must verify the identity of a voter requesting a replacement absentee ballot. This verification may include confirming information such as the voter's name, address, and date of birth, and may require presentation of voter identification.

Deadlines for requesting a replacement absentee ballot:

• Regular absentee voters requesting a ballot for one election and overseas voters: No later than 5:00 p.m. on the 5th day before Election Day.
• Indefinitely confined voters, calendar-year absentee voters, and certain military voters: No later than 5:00 p.m. on the Friday before Election Day.
• In-person absentee voters: No later than the close of in-person absentee voting hours, as established by the Type E notice.
• Voters receiving ballots during a Special Voting Deputy visit: No later than 5:00 p.m. on the Monday before Election Day.
• Hospitalized voters, certain military voters serving away from home, and sequestered jurors: No later than 5:00 p.m. on Election Day.

Election Day voters: If you make a mistake on your ballot before casting it, notify an election inspector immediately. The spoiled ballot will be exchanged for a replacement ballot.

A voter may receive no more than three ballots total for the same election, including replacement ballots issued due to mistakes or spoiled ballots.
