If you voted early in person, you're in good company. Racine City Clerk Tara McMenamin said early voting is "going well with an uptick in in-person absentee voting" at City Hall and satellite sites. As of Tue., Oct. 27, the clerk's office had 3,984 ballots back: 1,951 by mail and 2,033 from in-person absentee voters.
At about this time in 2022, the city had 3,804 ballots back: about 2,734 mailed and 1,070 in person. Statewide, mail-in absentee voting is still down while in-person early voting is up from 2022. McMenamin said the city is working with the city attorney's office and Racine Police Department to be ready for any disruptions on Election Day.
