MKE is Combining Polling places into 5 buildings
MILWAUKEE ELECTION UPDATE: (4/4 9pm)
The City is combining its 360 Wards into 5 buildings. That means that where you would normally vote has almost certainly changed. The City has assigned the new voting locations based on Aldermanic District. Do not go to your regular polling place. Check MyVote.WI.gov for your district and ward number. Write down the District and ward number (on your hand is a good place).
Polls are open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 7. Here are the 5 voting locations :
- Riverside High School
- Marshall High School
South Division High School
Washington High School
Hamilton High School
These are the assignments by District.
- Aldermanic Districts 1*, 3 and 6: Riverside High School, 1615 E. Locust St.
- Aldermanic Districts 2, 5 and 9: Marshall High School, 4141 N. 64th St.
- Aldermanic Districts 4*, 12 and 14: South Division High School, 1515 W. Lapham Blvd.
- Aldermanic Districts 7*, 10, and 15: Washington High School, 2525 N. Sherman Blvd.
- Aldermanic Districts 8, 11, and 13: Hamilton High School, 6215 W. Warnimont Ave.
Exceptions denoted with asterisks are:
- District 1, Ward 47 (normally at Hampton School) will be voting at Washington High School
- District 4, Ward 181 (normally at Charles Allis) will be voting at Riverside High School
- District 7, Ward 107 (normally at Ben Franklin School) will be voting at Riverside High School
- District 7, Ward 67 (normally at Barack Obama School) will be voting at Riverside High School
Each building will be serving voters from 60-70 wards and will be staffed with fewer than 60 election workers. This will result in some waiting, some of which could be outside.
There are still opportunities to vote early. You may request an absentee ballot until 5 p.m. today (April 3). Absentee ballots may be mailed back, or dropped off between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the locations below through April 13. Workers at those locations can witness your ballot for you.

There is early in-person curbside absentee voting at The Zeidler Building from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, April 3, Saturday, April 4 and Sunday, April 5. (There is no new voter registration on the weekend.)
