Spring Election!
The next election is right around the corner, Tuesday, April 5th.
 
Absentee voting has already begun. 
  • For those who already have applied, you should be receiving your absentee ballots any day now.
  • The deadline to request an absentee ballot is 5:00 pm the Thursday before the election (March 31, 2022), but we recommend making your request as early as possible so there is adequate time to mail the ballot back to the Village Clerk. You can apply for a ballot at the Village office or online at My Vote
  • Absentee ballots must be mailed to the Village Clerk or turned in to the Village office during office hours (M-F, 8:30 am – 5:00 pm). 
  • All Absentee Ballots must be received by the Village Clerk in time for delivery to the polls on Election Day. 
  • A change for this year is that the drop box by the Village Green tennis courts can no longer be used to turn in ballots.
 
In-office early voting begins March 22nd and runs through 5:00 pm on April 1st. Come in during office hours with a photo ID to vote.
 
On April 5th, polls will be open from 7:00 am until 8:00 pm at the Village Municipal Garage. Find us at the back of The Village Green just off 4 Mile Road.
 
Above all else, just remember to vote.

Direct Sellers
Just as March winds give way to April showers, the warming weather of Spring means we will soon see a bumper crop of “direct sellers” in Wind Point.
A direct seller is a person or persons who goes door-to-door to sell products or services to homeowners, or to solicit a charitable donation.

In the Village of Wind Point, anyone who wishes to be a direct seller must first undergo a criminal background check and obtain a permit from the Village Administrator or the Police Chief. This is true for every individual seller; it’s not enough for a company to have a “blanket” permit for all its employees.

Once the seller has been granted a permit, he must always carry it with them while selling in the Village. Moreover, a homeowner has the right to see the permit, and the seller must present the permit for inspection upon request.
Direct selling is permitted in the Village from 9:00 am to 30 minutes past sunset, Monday through Saturday. No direct selling is allowed on Sundays or legal holidays.

Direct selling is prohibited at any residence that displays a sign stating, “no peddlers”, “no solicitors”, or similar language. Even if no such sign is displayed, if the owner or occupant of the home asks or directs the seller to leave the property, the seller must do so at once.

If you or anyone in your household feels unsafe or threatened by a direct seller, do not engage with the seller. Simply close and lock your door and dial 911 immediately.

If a seller comes to your home who:
  • Is not wearing a name tag,
  • Fails to identify himself or the company he represents,
  • Refuses or is unable to present a valid Village of Wind Point direct seller’s permit,
  • Refuses to clearly state what he is selling, as well as the price,
  • Is rude, belligerent, overly-pushy, or disrespectful of you or your property,
then close and lock your door, write down any details about the interaction, including a description of the seller and his vehicle, and dial the Wind Point Police Department’s non-emergency number (262.639.3022) or the Racine County Sheriff's Office non-emergency number (262.886.2300).
