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

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

This is no longer an option.Instructions for Completing Absentee BallotYou can find detailed instructions here: Uniform Instructions for Absentee Voters.
