Municipal elections
All municipalities and villages in Dunn County have seats up for election on the spring ballot. What will be on the ballot varies as each municipality and village is unique. Many town chairpersons, supervisors, clerks, and treasurers, as well as village presidents, trustees, and clerks will be up for election this year. Anyone interested in running for these positions should contact their municipality directly. Some require nomination papers while others nominate candidates by caucus.
Some municipalities have combined clerk/treasurer positions and the clerk and treasurer positions may also be appointed rather than elected. Townships will also vary on the number of supervisors they have and villages can vary on the number of trustees they have.
Links to the websites of all townships and villages in Dunn County can be found on the Dunn County Clerk's website.
