April 7th Election and Mail-in ballots

Hi, Everybody —

This is just a quick reminder to everyone that if you plan on mailing your ballot for the election on April 7th, you should get your ballot in the mail as soon as possible. The US Postal Service continues to face severe cuts, and the result is that mail takes longer to be delivered. By state law, mail-in ballots must be received in the clerk’s office no later than 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, which is when the polls close. This suggests that you should take the ballot to your town/village/city clerk’s office yourself, if that is feasible. In any case, don’t let your vote be missed for failing to get it in on time.

And here’s a reminder for residents of the City of Dodgeville. Early voting is now handled at the new City Hall at 410 E. Leffler St., but if you vote on Election Day that will take place at the Iowa County Law Enforcement building at 109 E. Leffler St.

Town of Dodgeville residents will vote in the usual place, at the Town Hall, 108 E. Leffler St.

It all makes me wish that I had a parking concession on Leffler!
