If you plan on voting before election day, you are running out of time. Early voting throughout the state officially ends March 30th, though most municipalities in Door and Kewaunee counties will wrap up by Friday at the close of business. Thanks in part to high-profile cases for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and State Superintendent, the Associated Press reports that nearly 48 percent more early ballots have been cast compared to the same point two years ago when Supreme Court candidates Daniel Kelly and eventual winner Janet Protasiewicz were on the ballot. Algoma City Clerk Erin Mueller and Sister Bay Village Clerk Heidi Teich can attest to that fact as they have seen well over 100 early votes cast since March 18th. Even though it can mean more work for her in the end, Mueller is happy that more and more people are taking advantage of early voting.
Municipalities such as Sister Bay, Sturgeon Bay, and Kewaunee could have races decided by write-in ballots. Teich says there are things you can do to help poll workers tabulate those write-in votes more efficiently.
Election Day is April 1st, and the polls open across the state from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
