body
WHEREAS, exercising the right to vote is an essential component of a healthy democracy; and
WHEREAS, the goal of the Wauwatosa Clerk's Office is that each eligible voter will be able to cast a ballot and have that ballot counted; and
WHEREAS, voting in person on election day or voting by mail may not necessarily be the best options for every voter; and
WHEREAS, in-person absentee voting is an option for voters prior to each election during the period prescribed by law with dates and times determined by the City Clerk; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that the use of the City Hall Lower Civic Center as an alternate absentee voting site will accommodate the potential larger crowds of voters during the upcoming elections, and will make in-person absentee voting more accessible and equitable.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Wauwatosa that it hereby designates the following location as in-person absentee voting sites that may be used for the April 7, 2026 Spring Election, August 11, 2026 Partisan Primary and November 3, 2026 General Election:
City Hall Lower Civic Center, 7725 West North Avenue
