Voter Information
The Village of Sherwood will be implementing electronic poll books, called Badger Books in 2026. They serve the same purpose of paper poll books, with voters signing on the screen prior to receiving a ballot. Badger Books are designed to reduce errors on election day as well as move voters through the line faster because voters can use any of the four (4) badger books to register AND check in, so the line won't be split by last name.
2026 Election Dates
- Spring Election - April 7
