Voting on Election Day isn’t easy for everyone. Long lines, school and work schedules, kids to pick up and drop off places — challenges abound. Sure, planning ahead of time helps. But do you know what helps even more? Voting ahead of time.
The upcoming midterms are Tuesday, Nov. 8. But, if you’re an eligible voter in the City of Milwaukee, you have 12 different early-voting days to pick from. And on six of those days, you can cast your ballot at quite possibly the coolest and definitely the most champion-est venue: Fiserv Forum, which will turn into a polling place during the dates and times below (including TWO Saturdays).
- Tuesday, Oct. 25: 9 a.m.-6 p.m.
- Thursday, Oct. 27: 9 a.m.-6 p.m.
- Saturday, Oct. 29: 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
- Thursday, Nov. 3: 9 a.m.-6 p.m.
- Friday, Nov. 4: 9 a.m.-6 p.m.
- Saturday, Nov. 5: 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
Here’s what you do. Use the Johnson Controls Entrance at the corner of 6th Street and Juneau Avenue. Then cast your vote just inside the lobby doors (or at curbside if you can’t enter the arena due to a disability). That’s it. You can even park for free on Juneau between 5th and 6th streets.
“The Bucks are graciously and generously opening the doors of Fiserv Forum for early voting, and I hope this inspires more eligible Milwaukee residents to cast a ballot this fall,” Mayor Cavalier Johnson said. “Voter participation strengthens democracy, and when Milwaukee voters cast ballots, their voices are heard by elected officials.”
Be heard. Vote at Fiserv Forum or any of the other early voting sites ( find the full list here), or at the polls on Election Day.
