Prentice, Wisconsin Public Records

Wisconsin residents, including those in this community, can register to vote online at https://myvote.wi.gov, which also is the central portal for checking registration status, finding polling places, viewing sample ballots, and tracking absentee ballots. Wisconsin offers same-day voter registration, allowing eligible residents to register at their polling place on Election Day by providing proof of residence (such as a Wisconsin driver's license, utility bill, bank statement, or paycheck showing current address) and completing a registration form. The deadline for online and mail registration is 20 days before an election, but in-person registration remains available through Election Day. The village holds municipal elections in the spring of odd-numbered years (typically April) for village board trustees and village president positions. Local residents vote at their assigned polling location, which can be found using the MyVote Wisconsin website by entering a home address. Historically, the village has had one polling place serving residents, typically at a public building such as the village hall or school.Current federal, state, and local election schedules, ballot contests, candidate filings, and certified results for Prentice voters are published by the Wisconsin Elections Commission (https://elections.wi.gov/). Wisconsin's public election records include voter registration lists (available with restrictions to prevent misuse), campaign finance disclosures filed by candidates and committees (searchable through the Wisconsin Ethics Commission at https://ethics.wi.gov), candidate registration and ballot filings, and precinct-by-precinct election results published by the Price County Clerk and Wisconsin Elections Commission. Absentee voting in Wisconsin is available to any registered voter without requiring an excuse. Voters can request an absentee ballot online through MyVote Wisconsin, by mail, email, or in person at the Price County Clerk's office. Absentee ballot requests must be received by the Thursday before the election (5:00 PM), and completed ballots must be returned by 8:00 PM on Election Day either by mail (postmark does not count; must be received by Election Day) or in person at the polling place or clerk's office.
