Absentee voting trend continues

Polling sites will look much similar to last November’s general elections on Tuesday, but the number of voters at the sites will likely be significantly lower than typical election years. Door County Clerk Jill Lau says that there is a 75 percent increase in absentee voting in 2021 compared to Spring elections in 2019. In November voters who cast their ballot on election day saw a much different layout at the polling locations than they did for other elections. 

 

The same precautions from this past November’s election will apply such as sneeze guards, hand sanitizing, single use pen, and wearing masks will be encouraged.

 

Per usual, the polling sites will be open from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM.  A list of Door County races and referendums can be found below:
