MADISON, Wis. (SPECTRUM NEWS) — Voters around Wisconsin are able to cast absentee ballots at drive-up voting locations beginning Tuesday.
Absentee voting locations were established based on a Pandemic Voting Access Equity Analysis conducted after the April Election and are for the upcoming August 11 primary. People have until August 8 to vote, but some locations may have an earlier deadline.

Voters can use their own blue or black ballpoint pen to mark their ballot. If planning to use their own pen, the voter should wave their pen at the absentee ballot clerk approaching their vehicle. Absentee clerks will be wearing facemasks and high visibility vests. They will disinfect pens, clipboards, and envelope sealers after each use.
The absentee clerks will be able to check voter ID through the voter’s vehicle window. If the voter needs to register to vote, the absentee clerk will be able to view the voter’s proof of address through the vehicle window.
