Residents of Door and Kewaunee counties will be heading to the polls Tuesday to cast their vote for the general election if they did not send it in by absentee ballot or early voting. Voters in Wisconsin are required to provide a form of identification when going to the polls. Algoma City Clerk Jamie Jackson says anyone who may be isolating or quarantining because of COVID-19 can participate with the curbside voting option at City Hall, like in other communities throughout the state.
The curbside voting option has been used in the past for many disabled people but is expected to be utilized to a greater degree this year. Jackson reports that, as of Monday afternoon, 1,029 voted ballots were received already. That represents 55 percent of the 1,840 registered voters in Algoma. She estimates with a usual 75 percent turnout for a presidential election, another 500 or so voters will show up at the polls. All polling places will be open from 7 am until 8 pm on Tuesday.
DoorCountyDailyNews.com will be posting results of local races and referendums on Tuesday evening after the polls close.
