absentee ballots

The move would allow voters who have already cast their ballot for a candidate who has dropped out of the race to cast a new ballot

Absentee Voting is underway in Wisconsin for the August 11th Primary.

The City of Wausau Ethics Board has ruled that Mayor Doug Diny did commit a violation of the ethics code of elected officials after the handling of a locked, unsecure ballot drop box in the lead up to the 2024 fall election.

Decision of ethics panel will be released in writing at a later date

Eight anonymous Wausau residents filed a formal ethics complaint against Mayor Doug Diny with the City of Wausau Ethics Board, alleging improper conduct in his handling of a ballot drop box before the 2024 election

Wisconsin saw such high voter turnout that it overwhelmed the computer system clerks use to process ballots.

Absentee ballot drop boxes in the presidential battleground state of Wisconsin are available in a small fraction of the places they were four years ago, with many conservative communities opting not to offer them for the upcoming election.

An absentee ballot drop box that the mayor of a central Wisconsin city removed a week ago is back in place. The Wausau city clerk said Monday that the drop box was available outside city hall “for residents to submit absentee ballots, payments, and other important city requests as was intended.”

Wisconsin is again mired in controversy over the use of ballot drop boxes and a civic engagement group hopes it does not dovetail into what it described as voter suppression tatics

When the elections clerk in Wisconsin’s heavily Democratic capital city of Madison announced on Monday that duplicate absentee ballots had mistakenly been sent to around 2,000 voters, it ignited concerns about election integrity from a Republican congressman and others on the right.
