Wisconsin Passes Half a Million Returned Absentee Ballots
The running total offers an early look at absentee voting in the state, with 2022 midterm figures as a benchmark.
Wisconsin has now seen more than half a million absentee ballots returned, according to a report from Just the News. The outlet also pointed to the 2022 midterms for comparison: 741,795 absentee ballots were returned that year, and 318,130 voters used in-person absentee voting.
Why it matters Absentee voting is one of the ways Wisconsin residents can take part in an election, and the returned-ballot count shows how many people have already done so. The 2022 numbers give a useful yardstick for how widely absentee options were used in the last midterm election. Looking at the totals side by side helps put the current count in context without predicting any outcome.
What to watch Keep an eye on updated return totals and how they stack up against the 2022 figures. Voters with questions about their own ballot can check with their local election office.
