Absentee voting locations will expand to Edgewood College on Monday, Oct. 26.

Drive-Up/Walk-Up In-Person Absentee Procedure

If you have your own ballpoint pen to use, please wave it at the absentee clerk as they approach you at a drive-up/walk-up absentee voting site. The absentee clerk will be wearing a reflective vest and a face mask.
The absentee clerk will give you an absentee envelope to fill out on a clipboard that is disinfected after each use.
The absentee clerk will need to check your voter ID. You may hold your ID up to your window for the absentee clerk to see.
Once you mark your ballot, you will seal it in the absentee envelope.
You will sign your envelope in the presence of the absentee clerk. The absentee clerk will sign as your witness.
At the end of the drive-up/walk-up voting shift for the day, your absentee will be brought to the Clerk's Office in a courier bag with a tamper-evident seal. The unique serial number on the tamper-evident seal is documented on a chain-of-custody form, as is the number of absentee envelopes sealed in the courier bag.
The Clerk's Office will verify the serial number on the tamper-evident seal, and the number of absentee envelopes sealed inside the courier bag.
Your absentee will remain sealed in its envelope and secure in the Clerk's Office until it is delivered to your polling place to be processed on Election Day.
On Election Day, the poll workers at your polling place will check your envelope into the poll book, and will feed your ballot into the tabulator to be counted.

The in-person absentee voting hours and locations for the City of Madison are:

Voters must present an acceptable form of photo ID before receiving an absentee ballot. The following types of ID are accepted under state law:

Wisconsin driver license expiring after 11/06/2018 (date of the last November election)
Wisconsin photo ID issued by the Department of Transportation expiring after 11/06/2018
U.S. passport (book or card) expiring after 11/06/2018
Military ID card expiring after 11/06/2018
Certificate of Naturalization issued within the last two years
Unexpired Wisconsin driver license or state ID card receipt
ID card issued by a federally recognized Indian tribe in Wisconsin
ID issued by a Wisconsin accredited university or college that contains an issuance date, a student signature, and an expiration date within two years of issuance; card must be accompanied by proof of current enrollment
Unexpired Veterans Affairs ID card

Out-of-state driver licenses, out-of-state ID cards, faculty ID cards, and high school ID cards are not acceptable forms of voter ID under Wisconsin law.

The address on your ID does not matter when proving identity. The name on the ID, however, must reasonably conform to the name on the poll book.

When voting, it doesn't matter if the ID complies with the federal REAL ID Act of 2005. The federal REAL ID Act has nothing to do with elections.

The Dane County Voter ID Coalition is available to help voters apply for a free Wisconsin ID card. They can even set up a free cab ride to the DMV. The Dane County Voter ID Coalition hotline is (608) 285-2141.
