WAUKESHA - Due to a bevy of presidential candidate appearances in Waukesha
County the last several days, the county clerk said she is expecting a
very high turnout for Tuesday’s primary election.
County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus said she is expecting a 40 percent voter
turnout for the primary, compared to a 5 percent turnout on a
nonpresidential election year. After a shift in primary dates by many
other states, Wisconsin shares Tuesday’s vote only with Hawaii, which is
logistically difficult for candidates to visit.
There are also many local primaries, including a few for the reduced
Waukesha County Board of Supervisors, and referendum votes set for
Tuesday.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Voter turnout in presidential election years is "way, way
higher" than nonpresidential election years, City of Pewaukee Clerk
Kelly Tarczewski said.
