When do the polls close in Wisconsin for the 2024 election?

If you haven’t had a chance to visit your polling station by midday Tuesday, don’t worry. You still have plenty of time to get out and vote.

Some of the important races in the 2024 election include, of course, the presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, a heated U.S. Senate race between Democratic incumbent Tammy Baldwin and Republican challenger Eric Hovde, all of Wisconsin’s state Assembly seats, and half the state Senate seats.

There are also local races and referendums, and a statewide referendum.

Here’s when the polls close in Wisconsin on Election Day.

When are the polls open in Wisconsin?

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. across Wisconsin. As long as you’re in line by 8 p.m., you’ll be allowed to vote.

What do I do if I still have an absentee ballot?

If you still have an absentee ballot, it’s too late to put in the mail. Clerks must receive your ballot at 8 p.m. today to be counted.

Options for returning your ballot today could include bringing it to your polling location, your community’s central count facility, delivering it to your clerk’s office, or placing it in a drop box.

It’s a good idea to check your local clerk’s website or give them a call to ask what options are preferred in your community and if there are any time cut-offs.

Voters who live in the City of Milwaukee are asked to bring their ballot to one of the city’s drop boxes before 6 p.m., at City Hall by 7 p.m., or at central count at the Baird Center by 8 p.m.
