The Village of Westfield is a body corporate
and politic with the powers of a municipality at common law and governed
by the provisions of Chs. 61 and 66, Wis. Stats., laws amending those
chapters, other acts of the legislature and the Constitution of the
State of Wisconsin.
The official newspaper of the Village of Westfield
shall be the Marquette County Tribune, located in the City of Montello,
County of Marquette, State of Wisconsin.
Wisconsin law requires all Villages with a population
of 1,000 or more to establish wards following publication of the final
results of the 1980 census. The results of said census show that the
Village of Westfield had a population of 1,033 requiring the establishment
of two wards within the Village limits of the Village of Westfield.
Wards 1 and 2 shall consist of that territory shown on the attached
Ward Map.
The Westfield Village Board deemed it to be
in the best interest of the citizens of the Village to establish a
single polling place within the Village. The Village has maintained
a single polling place at the Village Hall, 124 East Third Street,
Westfield, Wisconsin, in past elections and it has not had dual polling
locations since the wards for the Village of Westfield were established.
Pursuant to § 5.15(6)(b), Wis. Stats., both Ward 1 and Ward
2 of the Village of Westfield will vote at the Village Hall located
at 124 East Third Street, Westfield, Wisconsin.
