Returning Absentee Ballots

The City of Oshkosh uses a Central Count location for processing absentee ballots. Voted, sealed, hand-delivered absentee ballots are no longer accepted at the polls on Election Day.

Absentee ballots must be submitted directly by the voter. All absentee ballots must be returned by 8 p.m. on election day. Pursuant to the Voting Rights Act, any Wisconsin voter who requires assistance with mailing or delivering their absentee ballot to the municipal clerk because of a disability 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.

Options:

1. Mail: Anytime - Place your complete ballot/envelope in any US Mail Box. The envelope is pre-stamped with postage. Please allow one week for mail delivery. Mailed absentee ballots must be received no later than 8 p.m. on Election Day.
2. Deliver: Deliver your ballot to the clerk's office during regular business hours.
3. Deliver: Deliver your ballot to the secure drop box located at the front entrance of City Hall.

Be sure your absentee ballot envelope/certification contains all of the information required or the ballot may not count.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the City Clerk's office at 920-236-5011

Mailed absentee ballots must be received no later than 8 p.m. on Election Day.

Central count disclaimer: Please be advised that because the City of Oshkosh uses a central count location for processing our absentee ballots separately from the ballots cast at the polling places, results posted on the county's website may be incomplete until a final, unofficial results report is posted at the end of the night.
