Plum City, Wisconsin Public Records

Residents register to vote online at https://myvote.wi.gov, Wisconsin's statewide voter portal, where they can also check registration status, find their polling place, view sample ballots, and track absentee ballots. State law requires voters to be U.S. Citizens, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and residents of their voting district for at least 28 consecutive days. Voter registration must be completed by the Friday before an election for advance registration, though the state also allows Election Day registration at the polls with proof of residence such as a utility bill, lease, or Wisconsin driver's license showing current address. Photo ID is required to vote under state law; acceptable forms include Wisconsin driver's license, state ID, U.S. Passport, military ID, or tribal ID. The Village of Plum City holds municipal elections in the spring of odd-numbered years, typically on the first Tuesday in April, for positions including Village Board Trustees and, when applicable, Village President. The next municipal elections will be held in April 2025 and April 2027, with candidate filing deadlines and specific races announced by the Pierce County Clerk and Village Clerk. Local ballot measures or referenda, if any, are also decided during these elections. Residents participate in county, state, and federal elections held in even-numbered years, with partisan primaries in August and general elections in November. To find their assigned polling place, residents visit https://myvote.wi.gov and enter their address; typical polling locations for the village include Plum City Elementary School or the Village Hall. In the November 2024 general election, Pierce County saw voter turnout of approximately 78-80% of registered voters, reflecting strong engagement in the presidential election. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, voters will decide several key races: Wisconsin's gubernatorial election (Governor Tony Evers' current term expires in 2027, so the 2026 race will determine the next governor), all 99 seats in the Wisconsin State Assembly, half of the 33 seats in the Wisconsin State Senate (odd-numbered districts), and potentially a U.S. Senate seat if one of Wisconsin's senators is up for re-election that cycle. County offices such as Sheriff, Clerk, Treasurer, and County Board supervisors may also be on the ballot depending on term schedules. No U.S. Senate seat from Wisconsin is scheduled for election in 2026 (the next races are 2024 and 2028), but all U.S. House seats, including Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District (which includes Pierce County), will be contested. Wisconsin offers absentee voting by mail for any registered voter. Requests can be submitted online at https://myvote.wi.gov, by mail, email, or fax to the Pierce County Clerk. Absentee ballots must be requested by the Thursday before Election Day (or earlier for mail delivery), and completed ballots must be received by 8:00 p.m. On Election Day. The state does not have early in-person voting in the traditional sense, but offers in-person absentee voting at the Pierce County Clerk's office and designated municipal locations during the two weeks before an election. Election records that are publicly accessible include voter registration lists (available to candidates and political parties), campaign finance reports filed with the Wisconsin Ethics Commission (searchable at https://cfis.wi.gov), candidate registration and nomination papers, and precinct-level election results published by the Pierce County Clerk and Wisconsin Elections Commission at https://elections.wi.gov.
