The Brillion News

MADISON - Federal district court Judge William Conley on Thursday, April 2, ordered three changes to the Wisconsin general election of Tuesday, April 7.

• Voters have until 5 p.m. on Friday, April 3, to request an absentee ballot from their municipal clerk.

• Voters using absentee ballots have until 4 p.m. on Monday, April 13, to have their completed ballot returned to the municipal clerk in order for it to be counted.

• Valid absentee ballots require a witness certifying that the ballot was completed by the voter to whom it was issued. If that isn't possible, the voter must provide a written statement that they were unable to obtain a witness certification.

This order guarantees that the results of the April 7 election will not be final until the evening of April 13 at the earliest.
