Grafton Town, Wisconsin Public Records

In-person registration at the polling place on Election Day requires proof of residence such as a utility bill, bank statement, or other approved document. Wisconsin requires voters to present an acceptable photo ID when voting, including a Wisconsin driver's license, state ID card, passport, military ID, or certain student IDs. The Village of Grafton holds municipal elections for village board trustees (7 members) and village president, with elections typically held on the spring election date (first Tuesday in April) in odd-numbered years. The next municipal elections are scheduled for April 2025. Residents can find their assigned polling place using the My Polling Place lookup tool at myvote.wi.gov by entering their address. The village typically operates multiple polling locations on election days. The 2026 ballot will include Wisconsin's U.S. Senate seat, as one of the state's two senators will be up for election. The Governor of Wisconsin will also be on the ballot, as the state holds gubernatorial elections in midterm years. State legislative seats for the Wisconsin State Assembly and State Senate (half of Senate seats) will be contested, with the community currently represented in specific legislative districts. Wisconsin allows absentee voting both by mail and in-person. Voters can request an absentee ballot through the MyVote Wisconsin website, by mail, email, or in person at their municipal clerk's office. For the village, absentee ballot requests can be made through the Village Clerk at 860 Badger Circle. Mail-in absentee ballots must be requested by the Thursday before the election and must be received by Election Day (not just postmarked) to be counted. In-person absentee voting is available at the clerk's office for up to two weeks before most elections.
