Turnout was unexpectedly high for a spring primary in the city and surrounding towns that are part of the Whitewater Unified School District. It seems clear that the very competitive Supreme Court race combined with the very large field of engaged candidates for school board generated more than average interest. There were 1495 voters in the city, 215 of whom were in the Jefferson County portion and 1280 in Walworth County. Unofficial results are shown below. Voters were allowed to cast their ballot for up to three candidates. The six candidates with the highest votes, indicated by an asterisk, will advance to the general election on April 4.
