Princeton, Wisconsin Public Records

Registration must occur at least 20 days before an election, though the state also offers same-day registration at polling places on Election Day with proper proof of residence. Acceptable ID documents for registration include a Wisconsin driver's license, state ID card, or other documents showing name and current address. Photo ID is required to vote statewide. Princeton holds municipal elections in the spring of odd-numbered years - specifically in April - for village board trustees and village president. The Village is governed by a village president and board of trustees, with elections for these positions occurring on a staggered basis with three-year terms. These elections also include school board races for Princeton School District. Voters can find candidate information and local ballot measures through Green Lake County Clerk's office or village clerk closer to election dates. To locate their assigned polling place, residents can use the MyVote Wisconsin website at myvote.wi.gov, which provides polling place locations, sample ballots, and voting information by entering a street address. The community typically has one or two polling locations depending on population distribution. Under Wisconsin law, numerous election records are public: voter registration lists (with certain personal information redacted), campaign finance reports for candidates and committees, candidate nomination papers and filings, and precinct-by-precinct election results are all publicly accessible through Green Lake County Clerk or Wisconsin Elections Commission website. Results showed the county supporting Republican candidates by substantial margins, consistent with its conservative voting patterns. Specific local races will be determined closer to the election as candidates file nomination papers. Wisconsin voters can request absentee ballots through the MyVote Wisconsin portal at myvote.wi.gov. Requests can be made online, by mail, or in person at Green Lake County Clerk's office. Absentee ballot applications must be submitted no later than 5:00 PM on the Thursday before the election. Military and overseas voters have extended deadlines. Completed absentee ballots must be received by Election Day at 8:00 PM; postmarks do not count. The state does not have universal mail voting - voters must specifically request an absentee ballot for each election or may request permanent absentee status if eligible (elderly, disabled, or military/overseas). The Green Lake County Clerk's office can be contacted for specific questions about registration, absentee voting, polling places, or election results for local residents.
