Polling places opened at 7 a.m. throughout Wisconsin, and remain open for voting until 8 p.m.

Absentee ballots must be returned by 8 p.m. on Election Day, November 3.

Most voters may return absentee ballots to their municipal clerk's office or their normal polling place. Voters in these 39 cities, villages and towns must drop them off at the clerk's office or absentee ballot central counting location. Please follow the instructions that came with your ballot.

Because of the pandemic and higher numbers of absentee ballots, counting may take longer than normal and last into Wednesday. It doesn't mean there's a problem -- just that election officials are doing their jobs to make sure every legitimate ballot is counted accurately.
