AP Decision Notes: What to Expect in Wisconsin's Spring Election
The early total is below the last two state Supreme Court races, which experts say were driven by unusually intense contests.
- As of Friday, April 3, nearly 281,000 Wisconsin voters had cast ballots early; Sunday, April 5, marked the final day for early voting before the April 7 Election Day.
- Appeals Court Judge Chris Taylor and Appeals Court Judge Maria Lazar are competing to replace retiring Justice Rebecca Bradley; Taylor is a former Democratic representative, while Lazar served as assistant attorney general under former Republican Governor Scott Walker.
- Milwaukee, Dane, and Waukesha counties reported the highest absentee ballot volume; while turnout is lower than the previous two highly contentious elections, experts noted current levels remain typical for a standard election.
- Although the ideological balance of the bench is not at stake, the winner will join a Supreme Court panel that could face political firestorms involving future presidential elections or congressional redistricting in the early 2030s.
- Voters who missed the early voting window can cast ballots on Election Day, Tuesday, April 7, until 8 p.m. local time; residents must bring an acceptable photo ID to participate.
