Election Procedures
By state law, the village conducts elections on specific dates throughout the year. Every year, there is a spring election cycle that consists of the primary (if needed) and the general election. The primary is held on the third Tuesday of February, and the general election is held the first Tuesday in April.
Fall elections are held every two years in the even-numbered years. When a fall primary is necessary, it is held the Tuesday in August with the general election the first Tuesday in November.
The Administrative Services Department supervises the election officials working at the polling locations. All election officials are hired by the village, and the chief inspectors receive training on Wisconsin law to enable accurate election results and a smooth election process.
The village currently has four polling locations to serve the needs of the electorate on Election Day.
