must be provided before an absentee ballot may be issued.

You must make a request for an absentee ballot in writing.
Contact your municipal clerk and request that an application for an absentee ballot be sent to you

or you may apply for an absentee ballot online at MyVote.wi.gov. Your written request must list 
your voting address within the municipality where you wish to vote, the address where the absentee 
ballot should be sent, if different, and your signature. You may make an application to your 
municipal clerk for an absentee ballot in person, by mail, by fax, by email or at MyVote.wi.gov.
