Wisconsin's April 7 Election: What's On My Ballot In Brookfield?

BROOKFIELD, WI — The Tuesday, April 7 election in Wisconsin will continue as planned, state officials say after several legal challenges, including one before a federal judge, failed to result in a postponement.

In Brookfield, voters will be able to choose which candidate they want to see in the fall presidential election. Voters will also get to decide a number of statewide, county and local races that will appear on the ballot.

Polling Place Change

Citing the coronavirus public health emergency and a critical shortage of poll workers, officials in Brookfield say voters will have a single polling place to go to on April 7 for election day.

"Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, most of our poll workers have been replaced by City staff and volunteers at their request. All polling locations will consolidate at the Brookfield Conference Center – located just south of Brookfield Square Mall at 325 S. Moorland Road," officials said this week. "The Brookfield Conference Center will be the only voting location in the City of Brookfield on Election Day, April 7. Your usual polling location will not be open."

New Rules For Absentee Ballots

Voters with absentee ballots will have to turn them in or have them postmarked by Tuesday to have them counted after a late ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court Monday night.

The U.S. Supreme Court handed down a consequential ruling for Wisconsin voters late Monday, overturning a lower court's ruling that extended Wisconsin's absentee ballot submissions by nearly a week.

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge William M. Conley of the U.S. District Court - Western District of Wisconsin extended the deadline for absentee ballots to be received by election officials from 8 p.m. on election night to 4 p.m. on April 13. The move would have given poll workers more time to tally votes.

On Monday night, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Conley's ruling, voting along 5-4 lines to restore Wisconsin's former absentee ballot deadline. That means poll workers cannot accept absentee ballots that are postmarked after election day.
