Don’t forget the write-in votes - they must be listed individually by name.

Write the name of your county, the kind of election - primary, partisan primary, spring/general election, or special, etc., and the date of the election in the heading.

If a municipality is divided by wards, but combines them for voting purposes and reports one total, you must still identify the numbers of the wards being reported. (Example: Town of Anywhere, Wards 1&2. If a municipality is not divided by wards do not list “Ward 1.”)
For each reporting unit, list the number of votes cast for each candidate.
Don’t forget the scattering column - if there are no write-in votes for a reporting unit, list 0.

Notes for Municipal and County Clerks:
Combining Reporting Units. A municipality may provide for combined wards by resolution up to 30 days* before the spring primary or election, if your population is under 35,000. It’s important to remember that for the spring primary and the spring election, wards in a municipality may be combined for judicial offices even though separate results may be required for county, municipal, or school district offices. The wards being combined must use the same polling place. *60 days before a September Primary or General Election.
Reporting for annexations requires special attention. As long as the area being annexed belongs to the same representative districts, i.e., congressional, legislative, and county supervisory districts, as the adjacent area to which it’s being annexed, then the annexed area is reported together with the adjacent area using the same ward number. But if the annexed area has different representative districts from its adjacent area or crosses county lines, the municipality is required by law to create a separate ward giving it the next consecutive number. All election results from this new ward must be reported under the new ward number.

3. If the new Wisconsin resident making this application chooses to go to the polling place on election day to
vote, the municipal clerk must provide the person with a copy of the completed application form (GAB-141) to take to the polling place.
4. The municipal clerk must keep a separate list of all new Wisconsin residents who vote under the provisions
of Wis. Stat. § 6.15. The list must include the person's name, address, and date of application, and if voting by absentee ballot, the date of receipt of the voted ballot.

Where paper ballots are used, the elector shall make a cross (X) in the square at the right of the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the elector shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. On referendum questions, the elector shall make a cross (X) in the square next to "yes" if in favor of the question, or the elector shall make a cross (X) in the square next to "no" if opposed to the question.

If an elector spoils a paper or optical scan ballot, he or she shall return it to an election official who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one elector.

After casting his or her vote, the elector shall leave the voting booth, properly deposit the ballot, and promptly leave the polling place. The elector may spoil a touch screen ballot at the voting station before the ballot is cast.

The elector shall then deposit his or her folded ballots in the proper ballot box or deliver the ballots to an inspector for deposit, and leave the polling place promptly. After an official optical scan ballot is marked, it shall be inserted in the secrecy sleeve provided so the marks do not show. The elector shall then insert the ballot in the voting device and discard the sleeve, or deposit the ballot in the ballot box or deliver it to an inspector for deposit. If a central count system is used, the elector shall insert the ballot in the ballot box and discard the sleeve, or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit.

The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the elector's employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which represents the elector. The following is a sample of the official ballot: (Insert official Presidential and General Election Ballots)
