There will only be three polling sites this year: Voters who would normally vote in Calmar or Ossian will vote at the Calmar Lutheran Church; Voters who would normally vote in Ridgeway or Fort Atkinson will vote at the Ridgeway Community Center and ALL other voters will vote at the Winneshiek County Courthouse.

The poll workers will be using Personal Protective Equipment to address safety concerns. The polling sites will be disinfected throughout the day by the poll workers. For the safety of the poll workers and other voters, voters are encouraged to wear a mask and to bring their own blue or black pen to mark their ballot.
