Wisconsin official: Voters must mail own absentee ballots

Associated Press  

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin’s chief election administrator said Thursday that Wisconsin voters must place their own absentee ballots in the mail and can’t have someone do it for them, adding to confusion over whether elderly and disabled people would be breaking the law if they receive help. Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe’s remarks came after the state Supreme Court issued a decision Friday outlawing absentee ballot drop boxes. Wolfe said voters should ask their local clerks for guidance but added that “right now, the voter is the one required to mail the ballot.” She said election officials are worried about voter confusion but that it wouldn’t be “appropriate” for her to express any further thoughts beyond what the state Supreme Court said. Barbara Beckert, director of external policy for Disability Rights Wisconsin, stressed that federal law protects the right of disabled people to get help mailing their ballot and to have a person of their choice deliver it to their clerk or polling place and the state Supreme Court ruling didn’t change that.
