If you're checking on Tuesday's election, the numbers aren't final yet. Racine County Eye covered the count all day, and everything is unofficial until the county canvass certifies it. The City of Racine's absentee ballots were counted at City Hall, not at the polls, so the city's numbers posted later on election night.
- Polls: open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Photo ID: required, with same-day registration and proof of residence
- Mail ballots: had to reach the clerk by 8 p.m.; postmarks didn't count
- Absentee envelopes: opened only on Election Day morning under state law
In Mount Pleasant, Chief Inspector Joyce Gregg said "early voting had 100 people lined up in the first 45 minutes." Resident Josh Quint said, "It went very smooth, no issues. The biggest issues are affordability." Downtown, the machines at Festival Hall showed zero counts before voting opened.
672votes cast without issues in Mount Pleasant by 10:17 a.m.
Gregg has worked elections for 20 years.
