Some Wisconsin voters experience delay on first day of in-person voting

(The Center Square) – Several municipalities experienced slow processing times on Tuesday as in-person voting began in Wisconsin.

The issue came due to higher than expected turnout, with the WisVote system experiencing slowness issues that the Wisconsin Elections Commission say has now been resolved.

The system is used to print a label for the outside of the envelopes for in-person absentee certificate envelopes.

“Today’s system lag was purely related to demands on the WisVote system due to high turnout,” the WEC said in a statement. “This should not prevent any voter’s ability to vote in-person absentee today. WEC staff worked quickly to increase system capacity to ensure that clerks can continue to facilitate in-person absentee voting efficiently.”

The labels can also be affixed manually with a pen, the WEC said.

The WEC did not release the number of those who voted Tuesday but did show that 360,372 mail-in absentee ballots had been returned through Monday of the 605,861 ballots that had been requested.
