Spring Election Polling Locations
Posted on 03/22/2023
Earlier this year, the Pleasant Prairie Village Board of Trustees approved consolidating polling locations for the two 2023 elections, the Spring Primary on February 21 and Spring Election on April 4. Depending upon the voter ward, residents may vote at one of two polling locations, Village Hall or RecPlex.
The Village Board decided during the January 9 meeting after hearing the recommendation from Village Clerk Jane Snell to consolidate the Village’s six polling locations down to three for the 2023 Election Cycle. The proposed change was based on historically low voter turnout for similar elections. As a result, the Village Hall Auditorium (south entrance) will serve as the polling location for Wards 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. In addition, RecPlex (south entrance) will also operate as two polling locations, one for Wards 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 and the other for Wards 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16.
“During smaller elections like these, we can make voting more efficient and accessible by consolidating our polling locations,” explained Jane Snell, Village Clerk. “State law allows the governing body to establish polling places at least thirty days before an election.”
Pleasant Prairie is committed to making the democratic process as easy and accessible as possible for all residents. Residents are encouraged to check their voter registration status and find where to vote before an election. Voters may visit MyVote.Wi.gov and enter their home address under the “Find My Polling Place” tab to ensure they visit the correct polling location.
