AP Decision Notes: What to Expect in Wisconsin’s State Primary
Voters will choose party nominees in races for governor, lieutenant governor and other statewide offices, with polling places open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Wisconsin voters head to polls Tuesday for the state's partisan primary election, choosing major party nominees for the November general election across governor, legislative, and congressional races.
- Under Wisconsin's open primary system, voters must select a specific party ballot, preventing cross-party voting but not committing them to join that party or support its nominee in November.
- The top contest is the Democratic gubernatorial primary, featuring Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and state Rep. Francesca Hong. Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany is running for governor, leaving his 7th District seat open.
- As of Friday, the Wisconsin Elections Commission reported more than 234,000 people have already cast ballots early in person or by mail. Polls remain open Tuesday from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m.
- Democrats seek to flip control of both legislative chambers this midterm cycle, building on momentum from new maps that allowed them to flip 14 legislative seats in 2024. November will determine the outcome.
