Milwaukee County names wards for voluntary post-election audits

Milwaukee County Board (canvas session) · August 13, 2026

Summary

County elections staff selected several wards — including Ward 182, Ward 33 and Whitefish Bay Wards 8 and 10 — for a routine voluntary audit to verify ballots against voting-equipment totals as part of the canvass.

An elections official told the board the county performs a random voluntary audit after every election to "demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of our voting equipment in Milwaukee County." For this election the official said the county selected Ward 182 and Ward 33 (central count); Whitefish Bay Wards 8 and 10; Oak Creek Ward 15 (polling place); and Franklin Ward 9 (central count).

The official said auditors will compare paper ballots to the voting-equipment totals during the canvas portion of the process to ensure reported totals match the machines' counts. The board recessed to allow the canvas and audit procedures to proceed.
