What to Know Before Voting in the Primaries on Tuesday
Marquette University Law School polling shows Hong at 38% support, while 34% of Wisconsin voters still have not decided.
- Wisconsin voters head to the polls today, August 11, 2026, for the partisan primary election, with polls remaining open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. statewide.
- Marquette University Law School surveys released at the end of July show Francesca Hong leading the Democratic field with 38 percent support, yet 34 percent of respondents remain undecided.
- Four Democratic candidates—Hong, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, former Cabinet secretary Joel Brennan, and state Senator Kelda Roys—compete on the ballot under Wisconsin's open primary system, where voters select candidates from only one party.
- Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe emphasized that officials prioritize accuracy over speed when compiling results, noting that counting in larger cities may take considerable time due to high absentee ballot volumes.
- Winners from today's primary advance to the general election scheduled for November 3, 2026; voters who lack valid photo ID at the polls must present one to their clerk within three days for their vote to count.
