In-person voting will be at the Brothertown Indian Nation Cultural Center from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM CDT, located at N1866 Hwy 151, Chilton, WI 53014.
We’ll be returning again and running our election on our original reservation land over 190 years after the Brothertown first arrived at their new land just east of Lake Winnebago.
Absentee ballots will be mailed out to all eligible voting members, age 18 or older.
Important Election Information for voting members:

The 2026 Election committee is made up of the following members:
- Ann Walters
- Jackie Wilson
- Dave Hankowitz
While not everyone is able to serve as an officer, be a council member, or serve on a committee, there is something every adult member 18 years or older in our Brothertown Tribe can do to ensure their voice is heard, that is by exercising your right to VOTE. By voting, we confirm that we care enough about our Tribe to take the time to vote for those members who will help our Tribe move forward.
