Due to potential court rulings that change day-to-day…we suggest returning Absentee Ballot TODAY or Tuesday!
A U.S. District Court judge ruled today in a lawsuit filed by DPW & DNC to eliminate several barriers to voting by mail in the April 7 election. This ruling is a victory for voters, for public health, and our democracy, and it gives voters critical extra time to safely vote by mail.
WHAT THIS RULING MEANS TO VOTERS:
The deadline to request an absentee ballot is extended to TOMORROW (4/3) BY 5:00 PM. Please request one ASAP. https://myvote.wi.gov/en-US/VoteAbsentee
The deadline to return an absentee ballot is extended to 4/13 at 4:00 PM, with no requirement that ballots be postmarked by election day.
Voters who are unable to safely obtain a witness certification are allowed to submit a written statement that they were unable to do so, despite reasonable efforts.

The COVID-19 outbreak has brought anxiety, uncertainty, and fear into our lives, but you don’t need to suffer in silence–you’re not alone. Staying in touch with friends, family, and your community is more important now than ever. If you need help, re feeling isolated, or just want to talk, don’t be afraid to reach out.
It is also essential to be respectful of others’ feelings. Everybody manages anxiety and stress differently. Please be thoughtful and non-judgmental. Also, be mindful of your actions; you must stay home if you can and keep a proper distance between yourself and others if you do go out.
The Washington County Dems are more than a county party; we are first and foremost a community. Our volunteers have been tirelessly making calls to check in with our members and will continue to do so.
Please follow CDC guidelines for social distancing and check out their page on Stress and Coping.
