Fredonia voters face Aug. 7 absentee deadline before Aug. 11 partisan primary

Fredonia voters who cannot vote on Election Day have a final listed opportunity to cast an in-person absentee ballot on Friday, Aug. 7, before the village’s 2026 partisan primary. The municipal clerk’s election notice lists voting hours that day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The primary is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 11. Fredonia polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 242 Fredonia Avenue, Fredonia, Wisconsin 53021. The address is identified in the notice as both the specified polling location and the clerk’s office location.

What voters need to know

Residents who expect to be unavailable on Aug. 11 can use the final in-person absentee window on Aug. 7. The approved notice provides the final listed hours but does not provide a complete absentee-voting schedule for earlier dates.

The deadline for online or mail voter registration was July 22. In-person registration at the clerk’s office continues through Aug. 7, according to the village’s instructions.

Voters must meet Wisconsin eligibility requirements and provide proof of identification. The notice also includes information about proof of residence and identification requirements for the election process. Voters planning to register or cast a ballot should be prepared to follow those requirements at the clerk’s office or polling place.

Equipment test completed before the primary

The village conducted a public test of its voting equipment on Aug. 4 at the Fredonia Government Center. That test was recorded in the village’s election information as part of preparation for the Aug. 11 election.

The reviewed notice does not identify the candidates or contests that will appear on Fredonia’s ballot. It also does not support characterizing the primary as competitive or describing a likely outcome. Election results were not available as of Aug. 6, the research date for this report.

Next dates for Fredonia voters

The immediate deadline is the Aug. 7 in-person absentee and in-person registration window, which ends at 5 p.m. for the final listed absentee hours. Voters who wait until Election Day can go to 242 Fredonia Avenue on Tuesday, Aug. 11, between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.

For Fredonia residents, the notice provides the dates, location and voting requirements needed to plan for the primary. The next known election step is the Aug. 11 polling period; no results were available as of the Aug. 6 research date.
