The Wisconsin Elections Commission reports absentee ballot requests for next month’s presidential primary are setting records for the state.
So far, more than 315,000 requests have been processed, shattering the previous record of 249,000 set four years ago.
Local clerks confirm they are processing more requests than at any point in Wisconsin state history for a spring election.
The deadline for registered voters to ask for an absentee ballot for the April 7th primary is April 2nd.
All ballots have to be returned to the clerk’s office by 8:00 p-m on Election Day.
