MADISON, Wis.— So far, more than 1.2 million Wisconsinites have requested an absentee ballot for the November presidential election. 

Hundreds of thousands of people have already made up their minds and turned in their ballots. Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe said Thursday clerks around the state have received 400,000 ballots so far. 

Of those 1.2 million who requested a ballot, Wolfe said most of them should have their ballots by now. As a reminder, you can track your ballot request on MyVote, as well as tracking your ballot itself as it heads to you, and back to the clerk. 

Meanwhile, Wolfe said more and more voters might be skipping the mailbox to get their ballots to their local clerk. 

“We've definitely heard from both voters and from clerks that voters are utilizing the option to return their ballot in person more than perhaps they have in the past,” she said. 

A new feature went live on the MyVote site Thursday that allows people to see ballot drop-off opportunities from their clerk, whether it’s an in-person drop-off or a dropbox. Wolfe said the site may not have information for everyone yet, because the WEC is still waiting on that information from some of the 1,850 local election officials across the state. 

The sooner you turn your ballot in, the better. Wolfe wants Wisconsinites to know that after you turn in your ballot, you should be tracking its progress on MyVote. That way, if there are any issues like it hasn’t arrived yet or there’s a problem with your certification, you’ll know about them right away, with enough time before the election to fix them.
