Wisconsin's April 7 Election: What's On My Ballot In Oak Creek?
OAK CREEK, WI — The Tuesday, April 7 election in Wisconsin will continue as planned, state officials say after several legal challenges, including one before a federal judge, failed to result in a postponement.
In Oak Creek, voters will be able to choose which candidate they want to see in the fall presidential election. Voters will also get to decide a number of statewide, county and local races that will appear on the ballot.
Polling Place Change
Citing critical shortages of poll workers in Oak Creek, officials have changed where some voters will cast their ballots for the April 7 election.
Oak Creek City Clerk Catherine Roeske announced a new polling place for voters who live in aldermanic districts 1 through 6, representing wards 1 through 19. All voters, who normally cast ballots at one of six polling locations in the City, will now vote at the Oak Creek High School, 340 E. Puetz Road, Oak Creek.

All voters will need to bring a photo ID to vote on election day. They will be able to register to vote at the Oak Creek High School on election day with proper documentation.
Voters are encouraged to bring their own black ballpoint pens, to wash their hands or use hand sanitizer upon entering and leaving the building, and to maintain social distancing while at the polling location. The City will also have additional safety and cleaning measures in place.
The polling place is accessible to elderly and disabled voters.
The polls are open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 8:00 p.m.
New Rules For Absentee Ballots
A federal judge ordered several changes for absentee ballots for the April 7 election:
1) The deadline for the receipt of absentee ballots is extended to 4:00 p.m. on Monday, April 13, 2020. The Court specifically did not add a requirement for a postmarked-by deadline as long as the ballot is returned by the new deadline.
2) The deadline for receipt of absentee ballot requests by mail, fax or email (and if deemed administratively feasible in the sole discretion of the WEC Administrator, online) is extended to 5:00 p.m. on Friday, April 3, 2020.
3) A witness signature on the absentee ballot certificate envelope is not required if the absentee voter provides a written affirmation or other statement that they were unable to safely obtain a witness certification despite reasonable attempts to do so, provided the ballot is otherwise valid.
