MADISON – Due to higher than expected turnout for the first day of in-person absentee voting, the WisVote system that some clerks use experienced a period of slowness that has now been resolved. Clerks use WisVote to print a label that can be placed on the outside of in-person absentee certificate envelopes.
The same information can be affixed on the outside of the envelope manually with a pen.
Today’s system lag was purely related to demands on the WisVote system due to high turnout.
This should not prevent any voter’s ability to vote in-person absentee today. WEC staff worked quickly to increase system capacity to ensure that clerks can continue to facilitate in-person absentee voting efficiently.
