OAK CREEK, 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 Oak Creek, 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 critical shortages of poll workers in Oak Creek, officials have changed where some voters will cast their ballots for the April 7 election. Oak Creek City Clerk Catherine Roeske announced a new polling place for voters who live in aldermanic districts 1 through 6, representing wards 1 through 19. All voters, who normally cast ballots at one of six polling locations in the City, will now vote at the Oak Creek High School, 340 E. Puetz Road, Oak Creek.

They will be able to register to vote at the Oak Creek High School on election day with proper documentation. Voters are encouraged to bring their own black ballpoint pens, to wash their hands or use hand sanitizer upon entering and leaving the building, and to maintain social distancing while at the polling location. The City will also have additional safety and cleaning measures in place.The polling place is accessible to elderly and disabled voters. The polls are open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 8:00 p.m. 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?
