Sister Bay eliminating drive-through voting

The Village of Sister Bay had enacted drive-through voting in recent elections in response to COVID-19 in the engine bay of the fire hall. Clerk Heidi Teich says it's harder to make the arrangement work in the cold of November.

 


In addition to absentee ballots and in-person voting within the meeting room of the fire hall, another option exists for those concerned with disease transmission. Curbside voting is required to be available under state statute. It involves potential voters arriving at the polling location, phoning inside, and having staff bring out a ballot to the car. Curbside voters will still be asked to provide photo identification and sign an affidavit confirming their address just as if they were casting a ballot inside the precinct. Unlike absentee voting, the curbside variety does not require special paperwork to be completed before election day.
