Wisconsin's April 7 Election: What's On My Ballot In Waukesha
There are big changes for the April 7 election in Brookfield, including polling place changes and absentee ballot rule changes.
WAUKESHA, 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 Waukesha, 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.

Due to a lack of available poll workers, on Election Day, Tuesday, April 7, the City of Waukesha will have only one Election polling location, officials said.
Waukesha officials said all residents will vote at the Schuetze Recreation Center, 1120 Baxter Street, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. No other polling locations will be open on April 7.

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.
