Brown County adopts November election order, sets early‑voting schedule
Summary
County election officials presented an order for the Nov. 3, 2026 general election and the commissioners adopted it, confirming registration and early‑voting deadlines including 10/19–10/30/2026 for early voting and extended weekend hours Oct. 24–25.
The Brown County commissioners adopted the official order calling the Nov. 3, 2026 general election after the county's elections official reviewed statutory requirements and a proposed schedule. The elections presenter (introduced in the agenda as "Miss Stephanie") outlined required deadlines and said the county will follow guidance from the secretary of state as it becomes available.
The presenter stated: "The last day to register to vote for the November election is 10/05/2026," and summarized early‑voting hours: the first week runs Oct. 19–23 (8 a.m.–5 p.m.); a weekend extension will open Saturday, Oct. 24 (7 a.m.–7 p.m.) and Sunday, Oct. 25 (1 p.m.–7 p.m.), and the second week of early voting is Oct. 26–30 (7 a.m.–7 p.m.). The presenter also noted the last day to apply for a ballot by mail is Oct. 23, 2026.
Commissioner Chastain moved to adopt the order and Commissioner Kelton seconded; the board approved the order by voice vote. The elections presenter reminded commissioners that Senate Bill 22 has passed in the legislature but that secretary‑of‑state implementation guidance was still pending in the record.
