Absentee Voters Could See Two Ballots In The 7th Congressional District

WAOW Television

2020 will be a busy election year in the Badger State and things could be different for absentee voters for the 7th Congressional District.

Voters who request an absentee ballot for the 7th Congressional District before January 27 could potentially receive two ballots: ballot 'A' and ballot 'B'. If an absentee voter makes a request after that date they will only receive ballot 'B'.

The difference: Ballot 'A' only has the 7th congressional race on it. Ballot 'B' has all contests for the 2020 Spring Primary including the 7th Congressional District race.

However, only one ballot counts.

"For this election, we're faced with a little bit different situation than with most elections, basically these are your three options vote ballot "A' and return it vote ballot 'B' and return it or wait till you get just ballot 'B' and return that one," said Kim Trueblood, Marathon County Clerk.

All absentee voters are sent instructions on the absentee process with both ballots. However, officials recommend just waiting for and filling out ballot 'B.'
