OAK CREEK, WI β€” Voters across Oak Creek will be able to cast their vote on Tuesday for races in the Oak Creek-Franklin School Board, Common Council and other county positions.

If you still have an absentee ballot to return it can be dropped off at the clerk's office at City Hall. All ballots are due by 8 p.m. the day of the election. Do not use the dropbox, as they are no longer allowed after a recent court ruling.

Polls will open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. Where you vote may have changed since the last election, as some wards and aldermanic districts may have been changed, according to the City of Oak Creek via Facebook.
