City of Rhinelander names JWMS alternate polling location for April 1 election

The City of Rhinelander Common Council has approved the recommendation by Austyn Zarda, City Clerk, to relocate the City of Rhinelander Polling Location for the upcoming April 1 Spring Election to the gymnasium of James Williams Middle School, located at 915 Acacia Ln, Rhinelander WI 54501. Wisconsin State Statutes state that both the municipal clerk, and a majority of the Common Council must convene, and agree on a new polling location. This meeting and decision were made at a special meeting of the Rhinelander Common Council, that took place at 6 p.m., March 30, 2025, at a noticed public meeting at Rhinelander City Hall.

Voters should utilize the parking lots south of Mike Webster Stadium, as well as adjacent to the Hodag Dome, and make their way to the rear entrances of James Williams Middle School, where they will utilize the exterior doors to directly enter the gymnasium, where they will be able to cast their ballots. We are working closely with the School District of Rhinelander to ensure that this transition works as efficiently as possible. We will be placing signage and markers to help guide voters to the correct polling place and will have staff stationed at the Hodag Dome to redirect voters to the new location.

We thank you all for your patience and understanding. We want to thank the School District of Rhinelander for working so closely with the City of Rhinelander to ensure that all those who plan to cast their ballot on Tuesday, April 1st, 2025, can do so. Any questions or concerns can be directed to Austyn Zarda, City Clerk of the City of Rhinelander, at 715-365-8600 ext. 1, or through email at [email protected].
