Early in-person voting is available today, Saturday, October 26 from 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. at the City of Whitewater Municipal Building, 312 W. Whitewater St., 2nd Floor, Administration Window. See below for the remaining early in-person voting dates/times.
Heather Boehm, city clerk, told The Whitewater Banner that absentee and early in-person voting has been off to a strong start this week. As of the close of business on Friday, 514 ballots have been cast in person, and 713 absentee ballots have already been returned. That leaves only 228 absentee ballots outstanding. Currently a total of 5130 persons are registered to vote.
Statewide turnout has been so strong that the Wisconsin Election Commission’s database has been bogged down for much of the week, causing waits that have caused some clerks to handwrite the voter information that’s supposed to be provided on a sticker on the absentee envelope. At the end of the day they have to go back and generate the stickers.
Early voting times for next week:
Monday, October 28th, 2024 – 8:00 am-4:30 pm
Tuesday, October 29th, 2024 – 8:00 am-6:30 pm
Wednesday, October 30th, 2024 – 8:00 am-4:30 pm
