Kewaunee County Recommends Early Voting Registration

Kewaunee County is asking that eligible voters be registered with photo identification in hand, before heading to the polls to cast their ballots on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 8, as high turnout is expected with the presidential race. Kewaunee County Clerk Jamie Annoye reports that at least seven percent of the eligible voters in Kewaunee County have already cast an absentee ballot with their municipal clerk. “Our goal is for all eligible voters to be able to cast a ballot and have that ballot counted,” said Annoye. An eligible voter is a person who is at least 18 years of age, a U.S. citizen and has resided at their current address for at least 10 days prior to Election Day, according to the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board.

The polls will be open from 7 am to 8 pm and eligible voters in Kewaunee County will have the option to cast either a paper ballot or use a touchscreen voting machine. Once the polls close on Election Day, unofficial results will be posted on the Kewaunee County website, kewauneeco.org, as they become available.
