Residents can register to vote online through the Wisconsin Elections Commission website at myvote.wi.gov. Online registration is available for those with a current Wisconsin driver license or state ID card. Registration is also possible by mail or in person at the municipal clerk's office. Wisconsin's same-day registration allows eligible residents to register at their polling place on Election Day with proof of residence. The deadline for online and mail registration is 20 days before an election, though in-person registration continues through Election Day. Voters must be U.S. Citizens, at least 18 years old on or before Election Day, and have lived in their voting ward for at least 28 consecutive days. Acceptable proof of residence includes a Wisconsin driver license, current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, or other government document showing the voter's current name and address. Municipal elections in the village choose the Village Board of Trustees and Village President. Wisconsin spring elections fall on the first Tuesday in April for municipal and county offices, school boards, and judicial positions. The village follows this schedule, with the next spring election on April 1, 2025, followed by April 7, 2026. Which races and candidates appear on Tony's ballot depends on the candidate filing period, typically held in December and January before the April election. Information on candidates, ballot questions, and sample ballots can be obtained from the Village Clerk or through the MyVote Wisconsin website at myvote.wi.gov, which provides personalized ballot information based on your address. Tony residents can find their assigned polling place by visiting myvote.wi.gov and entering their address. The website shows the polling location, hours (typically 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Election Day), and a map. Voters here typically cast ballots at a location within the village or at a consolidated site serving multiple small municipalities. Wisconsin's public records law ensures transparency in elections. Voter registration lists are available for public inspection, though use is restricted to election related purposes. Campaign finance reports filed by candidates and committees are public records searchable through the Wisconsin Ethics Commission website at ethics.wi.gov.

Village offices are elected in spring elections, not November. State constitutional amendments or referenda may also appear on the ballot. Specific candidate filings become available beginning in summer 2026. Wisconsin voters can request absentee ballots for any reason. To vote absentee by mail, residents can request a ballot online at myvote.wi.gov, by mailing a written request to their municipal clerk (the Tony Village Clerk), or by submitting a request in person.
