April 7 Election: What's On My Ballot In Mount Pleasant

MOUNT PLEASANT, 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 Mount Pleasant, 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 coronavirus-related health issues, the Village of Mount Pleasant is changing polling places for some voters for the April 7 election.

According to village officials, there will be only two locations for in-person voting on April 7. The Village Hall - 8811 Campus Drive, or Village Department of Public Works, 8700 Campus Drive.
Voters who normally go to the Racine Assembly at 1325 Airline Road, will now vote at the DPW Building - 8700 Campus Drive.

All other Mount Pleasant voters will vote in person at Village Hall - 8811 Campus Drive. Polling places are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

In-person absentee voting continues at Village Hall, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. through Thursday April 2, and Friday April 3 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Village Hall, 8811 Campus Drive. People need to bring a photo ID in order to vote, officials said.

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.
