2020 ELECTION
INFORMATION

finding voter registration forms and

they may appear to be. They are
sent by special interest groups and the prefilled voter information on the
forms is often outrageously inaccurate.
To ensure you are properly registered to vote or to apply for an absentee
ballot, please myvote.wi.gov or contact Melissa Klein@ (262)
965-3228, or email mklein@townofottawa.com.
