The WEC says there will be markers for social distancing--six feet between voters and poll workers.
It’s a partisan primary, so voters may only vote for candidates of one party. Democrats will vote on the democratic ticket. Republicans will vote on the republican ticket.
“If you vote for candidates in more than one party, your votes will not be counted,” said Meagan Wolfe, administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission. “But if you make a mistake, like voting for candidates in more than one party, when voting on Election Day, you may ask to spoil the ballot and cast a corrected one, up to three times.”
