Voter Guide: Oak Creek 4th District Alderman 2022 Primary

OAK CREEK, WI — Residents of Oak Creek who live in the 4th Alderman District have already been able to cast their ballots in the upcoming Feb. 15 primary election for the Common Council seat.

Three candidates are vying for the chance to progress to the general election in spring. One will be able to secure a two-year term on the Common Council.

The primary election is only for people who reside in Oak Creek's 4th Alderman District, and the district was recently changed by census re-districting, so you may reside in a different district than the last election you voted in.

You can also check your address through the City of Oak Creek's address lookup tool.

Voting On Election Day

The 4th District polling location is The National Guard Armory, located at 8520 South Howell Avenue. You must bring a valid form of ID to vote and/or to register on election day.

Polls open at 7 a.m. the day of the election and close at 8 p.m.

Wisconsin has same-day voter registration, so if you aren't registered ahead of the election, you can do so at the polling site. You would need to register if your address or name has changed since the last election you voted in.

Registering To Vote

The City of Oak Creek recommends you register as early as possible.

Wisconsin residents must have a current and valid form of ID and proof of address to register to vote. You can register ahead of the election at Oak Creek City Hall until Feb. 11.

Voting Early Or By Absentee Ballot

In-person early voting has already begun for the 4th District primary. You can vote early at City Hall, 8040 South 6th Street through the rest of this week. Here are the hours:

• Monday-Thursday: 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
• Friday: 8 a.m.-4 p.m.

The U.S. Postal Service has advised you should give your ballot seven days for mailing if that's the plan, according to my.vote.wi.gov, so you'll likely want to deliver your ballot back to the clerk by hand at this point.

You can check your voter registration status online at myvote.wi.gov. The last day to register by mail has passed.
