RETURNING YOUR MAILED ABSENTEE BALLOT

Disabled Voters Entitled to Absentee Ballot Assistance:
Disabled voters filed an action in federal district court seeking declaratory and injunctive relief after Wisconsin’s Supreme Court construed Wis. Stat. § 6.87(4)(b)1, in Teigen v. Wisconsin Elections Commission, as prohibiting voters from obtaining third party assistance to return an absentee ballot to the municipal clerk. They were successful in obtaining such relief.

On August 30, 2022, District Court Judge James Peterson held that disabled voters whose disability causes them to require assistance with mailing or delivering their absentee ballot to the municipal clerk are entitled to assistance by a person of the voter’s choice, other than the voter’s employer or agent of that employer or officer or agent of the voter’s union, under § 10508 of the federal Voting Rights Act (VRA). Judge Peterson also held that, to the extent Wis. Stat. § 6.87(4)(b)1 prohibits such assistance, it is preempted by § 10508. Carey v. Wisconsin Elections Comm’n, No. 22-cv-402-jdp (W.D. Wis. August 30, 2022).

Judge Peterson enjoined the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) from enforcing Wis. Stat. § 6.87(4)(b)1 under Wis. Stat. § 5.05(2m) or § 5.06 against disabled voters for receiving assistance from a third party in mailing or delivering their absentee ballot to the municipal clerk because the voter requires such assistance. The judge also ordered the WEC to instruct Wisconsin municipal clerks that the VRA requires that any Wisconsin voters who require assistance with mailing or delivering their absentee ballots to the municipal clerk because of a disability be permitted to receive such assistance by a person of the voter’s choice, other than the voter’s employer or agent of that employer or officer or agent of the voter’s union.

On September 7, the Wisconsin Elections Commission issued Guidance on Absentee Ballot Return Options Under the Federal Voting Rights Act which addresses frequently asked questions.
