Record Turnout for Tuesday's Election

Friday, April 4th, 2025 -- 12:00 PM

(Wisconsin Radio Network) Tuesday’s statewide election in Wisconsin was one for the record books.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, roughly 52%, or 2.3 million Wisconsinites of voting age, cast ballots compared to 1.8 million in the state’s 2023 off-year election.

Turnout was driven by the high-profile Supreme Court race in which Dane County Judge Susan Crawford defeated Waukesha County Judge and former attorney general Brad Schimel.

Crawford received the most votes ever for a Supreme Court candidate and Schimel received the second most. Tuesday’s turnout was more indicative of the roughly 2.7 million votes cast for governor in Wisconsin’s 2018 and 2022 midterms.
