Wisconsin’s next election is a little over a month away, but absentee ballots already have been sent out for the August 11th primary.
La Crosse County clerk Ginny Dankmeyer says supplying the ballots that early meets a federal requirement of 47 days before an election.
She predicts that all of La Crosse’s polling places will be open as planned for August and November, unlike when there were staffing shortages in April.
