Your chance to pick the candidates for the general election in November comes on Tuesday. Two referendum questions and contested Republican primaries for the Eighth U.S. Congressional District and First State Assembly District highlight the ballot. The fall primary turnout tends to be much lower than the general election, usually hovering at around 20 to 30 percent. Sister Bay Village Clerk Heidi Teich was shocked at how slow early voting was this year, adding that mail requests were way down compared to past years and low numbers coming to her office to vote. She points out two items on the ballot that have confused voters so far that you should remember when you head to your polling location on Tuesday.

Teich says you must bring your photo identification when you come to the polls, which are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
