Canvass minutes list procedural irregularities across multiple Oconto County reporting units

Oconto County Board of Canvassers · August 17, 2026

Summary

Minutes from the Aug. 17 canvass list documentation and procedure lapses (missing seal numbers, incorrect signature counts, poll book omissions) across several towns and cities; the board said these did not affect the election outcome.

The Oconto County canvass minutes record a list of procedural irregularities identified during the post-primary review. The minutes note examples including incomplete call-in sheets, varying chief-inspector listings during the day, missing tamper-evident seal numbers on Inspectors' Statements, poll books without circled last voter numbers, assisted-voter entries missing from poll books, and instances where remade ballots were not handled according to guidance.

The minutes explicitly state these irregularities "did not affect the outcome of the election" but fall outside procedures outlined in the Election Law & Administration in Wisconsin (ELAW) and Command Central ICE manuals. The board listed affected municipalities including (but not limited to) Towns of Abrams, Chase, Gillett, How, Lakewood, Little River, Little Suamico, Maple Valley, Morgan, Oconto, Pensaukee, Riverview, Spruce, Stiles, Underhill, and the cities/villages of Gillett, Oconto and Suring.
