Parties prepare to send observers to Wisconsin polling places as Election Day approaches

Both the state Democratic and Republican parties plan to send observers to polling places on Election Day. Local clerks have outlined rules for these observers, including staying three feet from poll books and not influencing voters. Election officials report increased interest in this election, with municipalities fully staffed for the day. Security protocols are in place, with some areas having dedicated officers for election assistance. The Wisconsin GOP aims to have over 5,000 poll workers statewide, while the Democratic Party will have a record number of observers. Early voting and mail-in ballots have already seen high participation in Wisconsin.
