Updated April 1st

As we approach the Tuesday, April 7th election the Town of Wheaton has been in contact with the Wisconsin Towns Association, Chippewa County, and State of Wisconsin and will continue to update this post as election updates are made available.  The Town of Wheaton has implemented additional safety precautions to ensure poll workers and residents that decide to vote in person over absentee are safe and that the polling location is kept clean and sanitized throughout all polling hours.  This ensures voters can still choose the voting method that works best for them.
 
Additional Safety Precautions
  • A six (6′) foot social distancing policy will be in place. 
  • We urge voters to use hand sanitizer while at the poll location.
  • There will be hand sanitizer, paper towels, waste baskets, ink pens, etc available.
  • Poll workers and voters will be separated by dividers as shown in picture below.
  • Voters should consider bringing their own ink pens and keep them to themselves. 
  • Signage will be posted to show voters where to enter and exit as well as where hand sanitizing stations are located.
          
 
Voters are strongly encouraged to cast an early vote or to vote absentee.  In any case, even if you can register prior to the election day, if at all possible, will certainly help.  We will be able to register voters, when necessary, just please be aware it may take a little longer.
