Figuring out your polling place for this upcoming election may be a confusing process after Janesville has gone back to 10 locations after consolidating for the August Primary.
City Clerk Lori Stottler says the number of wards has also increased since the spring after the Supreme Court made them redraw their boundaries, with the city seeing an increase from 25 to 37 wards between April and November.
Stottler says after local schools decided not to be polling places citing safety concerns, it made it more difficult to find locations that were ADA compliant and met state requirements.
Stottler says the city was able to find 10 polling places for the November election and they might not be perfect, but she’s glad they’re partnering with the city.
Voters are encouraged to visit my vote.wi.gov to find out where their polling place is before election day.
