Milwaukee County canvass reports about 36% turnout in 2026 partisan primary
Summary
County elections staff presented the canvas for the 2026 partisan primary, reporting roughly 36% turnout and confirming paper ballots matched reported totals; transcript numbers for ballots cast are garbled and flagged for clarification.
Michelle, a county elections official, told the board the county canvas for the 2026 partisan primary shows that physical ballots matched the reported totals and that turnout was roughly 36%.
"We have 499,705 registered voters in Milwaukee County with 180009 27 as the total ballots cast," Michelle said during her presentation, then summarized the result as about 36% turnout. The transcript line for total ballots cast appears garbled; the presenter emphasized that the canvass reconciled paper and reported totals.
The presenter said auditors reviewed five wards and found no variance between paper ballots and the electronic tape. She also noted that, aside from a small number of provisional or write-in issues addressed separately, the county canvass results are final and ready for certification. The board did not record a separate roll-call vote on certification in the provided transcript.
