Request an Absentee Ballot


Under Wisconsin law, voters do not need a reason or excuse, such as being out of town on Election Day, to vote absentee.  Any voter who prefers to vote by absentee ballot may request one.  You have several options for requesting an absentee ballot and casting your vote. 

Request an Absentee Ballot by Mail

If you are a registered Allouez voter, you can complete an Application For Absentee Ballot (GAB-121) and along with a copy of proof of identification, mail it to:  Village of Allouez Clerk, 1900 Libal Street, Green Bay, WI   54301.  Your application must be received by the clerk no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Thursday before the election in order for an absentee ballot to be SENT to you.  

If you are not already registered, you will need to register to vote before an absentee ballot can be sent to you (registration application / proof of residence is required).

Military and Overseas voters have additional options for absentee ballot delivery. Click here for Military. Click here for Overseas.

Request an Absentee Ballot by E-Mail or Fax

Allouez voters may also request that a ballot be sent to them by sending an e-mail (debbie@villageofallouez.com) or fax (920-448-2850) to their municipal clerk. This request must be made no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Thursday before the election in order for an absentee ballot to be SENT to you. 

Options and Deadlines for Returning Your Absentee Ballot

  • U.S. Postal Service: Your completed absentee ballot must be postmarked no later than Election Day and received by the municipal clerk no later than 4 p.m. on the Friday after the election.
  • Other delivery (FedEx, hand-delivery, etc.): Your completed absentee ballot must be delivered to the municipal clerk no later than 8 p.m. on Election Day
    In-Person Absentee Voting at your Municipal Clerk's Office (Early Voting)
    You can also vote absentee at the Allouez clerk's office, 1900 Libal Street.  In-person absentee voting (also known as early voting) is available weekdays, March 21 to April 1.   
    Remember, you can only vote once!
    Please note:  In 2011 the Legislature passed Act 227, which prohibits a voter who has returned a completed absentee ballot from voting at the polling place on Election Day. Previously, voters who cast an absentee ballot and changed their minds could go to the polling place and vote on Election Day, and their absentee ballot would not be counted. This is no longer an option.
