Green Bay officials have had to bring additional ballots to three polling locations amid high in-person turnout.

As of 2:30 p.m., 9,600 voters have visited the polls.

“We’re sitting at a very good turnout at this point. Everyone I’ve talked to has had very good turnout,” Green Bay Clerk Stacy Menke said. 

Meanwhile, 10,011 absentee ballots have been returned, with the city halfway through processing the absentee ballots at central count.  That’s on par with the last election,  which meant there were “a lot of eligible voters that were left on the table,” Menke said. 

“My message to them today was to come out.”
