GREENDALE, WI — The Tuesday, April 7 election in Wisconsin will continue as planned, state officials say after several legal challenges, including one before a federal judge, failed to result in a postponement. In Greendale, voters will be able to choose which candidate they want to see in the fall presidential election. Voters will also get to decide a number of statewide, county and local races that will appear on the ballot. Polling Place Change Citing an urgent shortage of poll workers for election day, Greendale Village Clerk Melanie Pietruszka said voters in four village wards will have new polling places for the April 7 election. "Unfortunately, we will not have the staffing that we need to run all five polling locations," Pietruszka said. "We apologize for the late change, but we are taking steps to notify everyone by mail of the new locations." Sign up for Patch alerts and daily newsletters.

Grange Ave.College Park School, Wards 5, 6, has been moved to Highland View School, 5900 S. 51st Street.Central Count, absentee processing has been moved to The Hose Tower, 5699 Parking Street. Even though polling places will be open on election day, Village Clerk urged voters in Village of Greendale to avoid polling places and vote absentee by mail instead, if possible. New Rules For Absentee Ballots Voters with absentee ballots will have to turn them in or have them postmarked by Tuesday to have them counted after a late ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court Monday night. The U.S. Supreme Court handed down a consequential ruling for Wisconsin voters late Monday, overturning a lower court's ruling that extended Wisconsin's absentee ballot submissions by nearly a week. On Thursday, U.S. District Judge William M. Conley of the U.S. District Court - Western District of Wisconsin extended the deadline for absentee ballots to be received by election officials from 8 p.m. on election night to 4 p.m. on April 13. The move would have given poll workers more time to tally votes. On Monday night, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Conley's ruling, voting along 5-4 lines to restore Wisconsin's former absentee ballot deadline. That means poll workers cannot accept absentee ballots that are postmarked after election day. What's On My Ballot?
