This does not include Saturdays, Sundays, or the Monday before the election. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m..

  1. If you are indefinitely confined (doesn't mean confined to your home) because of age, illness, infirmity or disability, you can request to be put on the permanent list and an absentee ballot will be mailed to you until you fail to return a ballot;
  2. If you don't qualify as indefinitely confined, you can send a request at the beginning of every year and we will send you a ballot for every election that year;
  3. You can request an absentee ballot for one election;
  4. Or, if you are out of town during election time, we can mail an absentee ballot to your destination. Please allow adequate time for mailing to and from, so we receive your ballot by Election Day for your vote to count.

To request an absentee ballot through the Clerk's Office, send a letter, or you may contact the office through email at absenteerequest@greenbaywi.gov. Include your name, address, phone number and signature.
