[Lekooks] Ask for Absentee Ballot boxes!

Fri Aug 14 14:32:45 CDT 2020

All, 

If you live in the Village of Summit you can turn in your absentee ballot in the utility payment drop slot at the Village Hall.  I turned in mine there sometime last week and verified via the website link below that my ballot was counted.

There is a dropbox slot on the outside of the building that can be used for the absentee ballots as well as building plans, etc.  Otherwise, the woman I spoke to suggested mailing the ballot back immediately.  The absentee ballots will go out around the end of September.

>>> I imagine that many of us will be voting absentee this fall, and with all the troubling issues with the postal service, perhaps worrying about our ballot being received and counted.  In Colorado, all voting is by mail, and they have poll ballot boxes that voters can place their ballots into - similar to mailboxes, but different-looking and clearly marked as for ballots.  The Wisconsin Election Commission has let the Wisconsin Clerks know that they can establish drop boxes for absentee ballots that must be secure and emptied daily, but not all clerks have done so.  I have asked my municipality to install one, and I would encourage all of us to ask our local clerks to do so.  We know how important this election is!
