Cedar Grove, Wisconsin Public Records

Online registration requires a current Wisconsin driver's license or state ID card. Voters may also register by mail or in person at the Sheboygan County Clerk's office, and Wisconsin allows same-day voter registration at the polls on Election Day. To register, voters must provide proof of residence (utility bill, bank statement, lease agreement, or government document showing name and current Cedar Grove address) and have resided at their current address for at least 28 consecutive days before the election. The deadline for online and mail registration is 20 days before any election, though same-day registration remains available at the polling place with proper documentation. The community holds municipal elections on the first Tuesday of April in odd-numbered years for village board members (trustees) and the village president (mayor equivalent). The next Cedar Grove village election will be held in April 2025, with positions including village board trustees and potentially the village president. Voters can find sample ballots, candidate information, and local ballot questions at myvote.wi.gov by entering their address. To find their assigned polling place, residents should visit myvote.wi.gov and use the "Find My Polling Place" tool, which provides the exact location, hours (typically 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM), and a sample ballot based on residential address. The village typically has one or two polling locations, commonly at the Cedar Grove Village Hall or a school building. Wisconsin's public records law makes extensive election records publicly accessible, including voter registration lists (available for purchase by candidates and political parties for election purposes only, with restrictions on commercial use), campaign finance reports filed by candidates and political committees (searchable at cfis.wi.gov, the Campaign Finance Information System maintained by the Wisconsin Ethics Commission), candidate nomination papers and declarations of candidacy, and precinct-by-precinct election results. The Sheboygan County Clerk publishes unofficial election results on election night and certifies official results within days. Village elections are held in odd years, so no Cedar Grove village offices will be on Wisconsin voters may request absentee ballots online at myvote.wi.gov; the system allows voters to request an absentee ballot be mailed to their home address or a temporary address. The deadline to request an absentee ballot by mail is the fifth day before Election Day; in-person absentee voting at the Sheboygan County Clerk's office is available until the Friday before Election Day at 5:00 PM. Voters must provide a copy of their photo ID when requesting an absentee ballot, and the ballot must be returned by mail (postmarked by Election Day and received within a few days, though Wisconsin law specifies ballots must be received by 8:00 PM on Election Day to count, so mail ballots must arrive by then) or delivered in person to the municipal clerk's office by 8:00 PM on Election Day.
