If you would like to see how the tabulator works, how votes are reported to Dane County, and play with the machine that marks ballots for you, come to the Public Test of Voting Equipment at the Town Hall on Wednesday, February 10, 2021 at 1:30 p.m. Allow about a half hour for the test. We will be masked and socially distancing, but it is interesting.
Here’s the formal notice.

At the Town Caucus held Saturday, January 16, 2020, the following slate of candidates was nominated:
Chair: Roger Hodel
First Supervisor: Randy Francois
Second Supervisor: Dan Palmer
Constable: Jack Everson
All candidates have accepted their nominations. All candidates are the current incumbents.
No applications have been received, so there will not be a Land Use Committee meeting in January. Next scheduled meeting is February 22, 2021, with applications due by February 8, 2021.
There are two elections coming up this year. The first is on February 16th – we have primaries for the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and for the Belleville and Oregon School Boards. If you wish to vote absentee, you need to apply for an absentee ballot; last year’s applications, except for indefinitely confined voters, do not carry over. If you already have your ID on file, the process is very simple – just go to myvote.wi.gov and apply. If your ID is not on file, the only complication is that you need to upload a copy of your Wisconsin ID or driver’s license.
In person absentee voting will start on February 2, with the normal hours as at the 2020 elections – no appointment necessary if you can come in between 10 a.m. and noon, or between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Otherwise, call, text or e-mail for an appointment. 608-424-3848; montrose@chorus.net
This is the current schedule for town meetings and election activities this year. Please always double check before attending – these dates may change.
