No Wauwatosa Election Results Available Until April 13

Press release from the City of Wauwatosa:

April 7, 2020

Before each election, there are a large number of responsibilities carried out by our City Clerk's office, requiring time and attention: voter registration, absentee voting which requires preparation and security measures, outreach to registered absentee voters by specific dates, recruiting and training poll workers, and testing the poll machines. Of course, there were a lot of additional considerations for this election. We want to give a big thank you to our voters, poll workers, and City Clerk staff for hosting a safe and successful election.

No election results will be available tonight. Court order prevents results from being released until April 13 when all absentee ballots have been received.

However, we can share a few data points about the April 7 election:

• Number of outstanding provisional ballots issued on Election Day: 0
• Number of absentee ballots issued: 19,858
• Number of absentee ballots returned by the close of polls on Election Day: 15,828
