Wisconsin election officials are given immense responsibility to ensure that elections are conducted in a fair and impartial manner while maintaining the integrity of the election process. A key to developing and maintaining public trust is to make the election process accessible and transparent for all participants. This involves working with representative organizations and groups, providing assistance to eliminate physical barriers to the polling place, acquiring voting equipment that enables all citizens to cast an independent and private ballot in a dignified manner and providing information that enables all citizens to fully participate in the election process. If you require special assistance for voting, contact the city clerk's office at (920) 685-7000. In home voting and curbside assistance will be accomodated. |

Request by E-Mail or Fax: A voter may request that a ballot be sent to them by sending an e-mail or fax to their municipal clerk. Before the ballot can be counted on election day, the municipal clerk must have received a request from the voter with an original signature.

No ballots may be taken from the clerk's office. Deadline for Returning Ballot: The completed ballot must be received by the municipal clerk no later than the day of the election so that it can be delivered to the polling location by 8 p.m. Become an Election Official / Pollworker Click Photo for Application
The City of Omro encourages all private citizens to vote and to become involved in the election process. One of the most rewarding ways to do this is to become an Election Day poll worker.
