Residents can register to vote online through the statewide MyVote Wisconsin portal at myvote.wi.gov, which also allows voters to check their registration status, request absentee ballots, view sample ballots, and find their assigned polling place. Wisconsin law permits eligible citizens to register online up until 11:59 p.m. On the third Wednesday before an election, or in person at their municipal clerk's office or polling place on Election Day with proof of residence. Acceptable proof of residence includes a Wisconsin driver's license, state ID card, utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, or government document showing the voter's current name and address. The Village of Haugen holds municipal elections for village board trustees and the village president, who is the mayor equivalent. Village trustee positions are typically elected to staggered two-year or three-year terms, with elections held on the spring election date in April of odd-numbered years. Candidates for village offices file nomination papers with the Village Clerk at 108 Main Street, Haugen, WI 54841. Information about local candidates, ballot questions, and village election results is available from the Village Clerk and the Barron County Clerk. Residents vote at their assigned polling place, which for most village voters is the Haugen Village Hall, Haugen, WI 54841.

Local voters are part of Wisconsin State Assembly District 68 and State Senate District 23 (district numbers subject to redistricting). No U.S. Local ballot questions or referenda may also appear depending on county or village proposals. Wisconsin voters can request absentee ballots through the MyVote Wisconsin website at myvote.wi.gov, by contacting the Village of Haugen Clerk or the Barron County Clerk, or by submitting a written request. Absentee ballots can be returned by mail (must be received by 8:00 p.m. On Election Day), delivered in person to the municipal clerk's office, or in some cases deposited in secure drop boxes. Wisconsin law requires voters requesting absentee ballots by mail to provide a copy of an acceptable photo ID unless they qualify for specific exemptions (military voters, permanent overseas voters, certain voters with disabilities). Election records that are public in Wisconsin include voter registration lists (available to eligible requesters under Wisconsin Statutes §6.36 for election related purposes), campaign finance reports filed by candidates and committees (searchable through the Wisconsin Ethics Commission's website at ethics.wi.gov), candidate nomination papers and declarations of candidacy (maintained by municipal and county clerks), official election results by ward and precinct (published by Barron County Clerk and Wisconsin Elections Commission), and absentee ballot logs showing who requested and returned absentee ballots (names and addresses, but not how individuals voted). These records support transparency and accountability in Wisconsin's election system while protecting the secrecy of individual ballot choices.
