The ballot will include the offices of the City Council President, all five District Aldermen, members of area school boards, state Superintendent of Public Instruction and various judicial positions. You must be registered before you can vote. To register, you must have one piece of identification showing both your name and current address. You can also register on election day at your voting site, if you bring an acceptable form of identification. The City of Eau Claire uses a computerized optical scan ballot.
Voters receive a paper ballot and a marking pen.
After marking their ballot, the voter places the ballot in a counter, which scans the ballot and tabulates the votes. The counted ballot is then dropped into a locked compartment. If you are unable or unwilling to go to your voting site on Election Day, you can vote by absentee ballot. You must vote in the ward in which you live. You must cast your ballot at the voting location for your neighborhood.
