Early Voting Turnout High For Wisconsin’s Spring Election On Tuesday

Sunday, March 30th, 2025 -- 9:10 AM

The crucial state Supreme Court race is driving up numbers for in-person early voting, which continues through today.

Absentee ballots sent by mail will be counted through Election Day on Tuesday.

The latest numbers from the Wisconsin Elections Commission show nearly 500,000 early ballots cast, an increase of about 95% from two years ago. Waukesha County leads in early voting, followed closely by Dane and Milwaukee Counties.

Wisconsin voters will head to the polls on Tuesday to also choose who will lead the state Department of Public Instruction. 

Incumbent State Superintendent Jill Underly has held the position since 2021. Challenger Brittany Kinser is an educational consultant and the former president of City Forward Collective, a Milwaukee nonprofit focused on charter and voucher schools. 

The state Department of Public Instruction sets the direction of public education in Wisconsin.
