You will have more to vote on in the Town of Nasewaupee compared to other voters in Door County. In addition to deciding on several state, federal, and county positions, Nasewaupee residents will also get to vote on a pair of referendum questions for the town and the school district. 

For the town, residents will be asked if the town clerk and town treasurer should remain as elected positions like they are at the county level or if they should follow the lead of other municipalities like the Village of Egg Harbor and appoint people to those positions. Each position is its own question. 

The town resides inside the Southern Door School District, which has its own pair of referendum questions. The operational referendum would allow the district budget to exceed the revenue limit by $975,000 annually for three years. These funds would be used for non-recurring expenses such as student support services, updating curriculum materials, maintaining current programming and technology, and wages. The capital referendum would authorize general obligation bonds to be issued for $14.9 million. Under the plans currently posted on the district’s website, new construction would include an indoor practice facility, a relocated weight and fitness room, and a greenhouse. The current district office building would also be torn down to make way for additional parking in front of the school building. The district office would then be relocated to what is now the fitness center. 

Mail-in absentee voting is already underway, while in-person early voting begins on October 25th. The general election takes place on November 8th.
