To avoid long lines or possible lack of required registration documentation by those who have not previously registered and are registering at the polling locations on Election Day, eligible voters are encouraged to register to vote prior to an Election.  Voters already registered in the City of Franklin are also encouraged to contact the City Clerk’s Office if your name has changed or you have moved within Franklin since you last voted in Franklin. Check your current registration information by contacting the Franklin City Clerk’s Office or access the information directly at MyVoteWisconsin. Residents that are not registered to vote in the City of Franklin can register online at MyVoteWisconsin or fill out the Voter Registration Application and instructions, which includes a section for changing information such as your name or address, and return it to the City Clerk's office.  Qualified voters can register on Election Day at their correct polling location.  Valid proof of residency is required, and the requirement for residing in a municipality prior to an Election is 28 consecutive days.  Please refer to the Voter Registration Guide for complete details.
 


Absentee Ballots:

Application for Absentee Ballot or request an Absentee Ballot through MyVote Wisconsin

Following submittal to the Clerk's Office of a completed Application for an Absentee Ballot or submittal of a request for an Absentee Ballot through My Vote Wisconsin, registered voters can receive a ballot in the mail or can vote in person at the City Clerk's Office.  NOTE:  Regular voters must provide a valid photo ID along with their request if one is not on file with your voter registration.

Absentee By-Mail:

Absentee ballots will be sent by mail to those registered voters with a completed application on file.  You will receive your ballot in the mail with a self-addressed stamped envelope for return, along with instructions.  Vote your ballot, sign and date your certificate envelope, have a witness sign your certificate envelope including their complete address, and return it to the City Clerk's Office by mail or personally deliver your own absentee ballot directly to the City Clerk's Office at Franklin City Hall, 9229 W.

Any voter who requires assistance with mailing or delivering their absentee ballot to the municipal clerk because of blindness, disability, or inability to read or write must be permitted to receive such assistance by a person of the voter's choice, other than the voter's employer or agent of that employer or officer or agent of the voter's union.  This includes having a third-party return their absentee ballot to the clerk, in-person or through the mail.
