TOWN OF GRAND RAPIDS
VOTING OPTIONS
2020 SPRING ELECTION & PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE PRIMARY

Did you know you have options to cast your ballot for the April 7, 2020 election (and every election)?

For the traditional voter who enjoys the excitement of Election Day, polls will be open from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm at Grand Rapids Municipal Building, 2410 48th St. S. Our election workers will be happy to assist you, along with keeping the election facility as clean and safe as possible. Extra efforts will be taken to wipe down voting booths and election equipment throughout the day. For voter’s convenience, hand sanitizer and tissues will also be available at each station.

Not up for Election Day? Request an absentee ballot online at www.myvote.wi.gov prior to April 2nd, and a ballot will be mailed to you. Voters may also request a mailed ballot in writing but be sure to include a copy of your photo ID with your request. This form is also available on the Town’s website, www.grandrapidswi.gov, under Election Information. These options work great for travelers, those who have a suppressed immune system or have difficulty leaving their homes, voters who can’t make it to the Municipal Building during working hours, or those that just prefer to avoid the lines on Election Day. Please be sure to allow mailing time so the ballot is returned on or before Election Day. These options are always available to voters, for all elections.

Voters can also vote in-person via absentee ballot at the Municipal Building prior to Election Day during regular office hours, starting on March 23rd. In-person voting ends on Friday, April 3rd at 5:00 pm, so plan ahead. This option is always available for the two weeks prior to an election. However, early voting is not allowed the Monday before an Election Day.

Remember to bring your Photo ID with you, for both early voting and on Election Day. If you have had an address or name change since the last time you voted, you will need to re-register before voting.

The website referenced above, www.myvote.wi.gov, is a great tool to utilize for many things election- related. As long as you have a current and valid WI Driver License or WI State ID Card, you can now register completely online. The website also has the option to request an absentee ballot, update name and address, see what’s on the ballot, and find out who your current elected officials are.
